The Hideout and StretchMetal present Drone Rodeo, StretchMetal’s monthly ambient music series in the round. This special edition welcomes Winds Gate, the latest EP by John Thayer, marking a stop on his album release tour with local support by Gianni Andreatta.
Winds Gate finds John Thayer at this very riverside, pointing a field recorder and a modular rig right at the churn of the water, as if the Hudson River School painters traded their oils for Ableton. Sweet, weathered educational-film synth tones and drones fade into light over burbling, textural capture of forest transmissions and riparian current, while enigmatic audio processing pushes cycling white noise and chopped up samples from one speaker to the next and back again. Impossibly huge sky above, an impenetrably deep canyon plunging below the surface.
