Drone Hill

Richard Harrison’s solo debut, coming off of two decades playing drums, percussion or bass with everyone from Distortion Dance to Spaceheads to Stereolab, went in another direction yet: field recordings, recorded at a location on his brother’s farm where electrified wires exposed to the elements resonated with different tones depending on weather and wind. It’s a lovely collection of found sound, the rough, by-default choppy and muffled snippets becoming a series of miniature drone experiences, very much on the moodier, haunting side of ambient as such.
