‘Among Lunar Glaciers’ is an experimental ambient drone work, conceived as an imaginary soundtrack to an exploration of glaciers on an icy moon and the varied environments within the glacier’s depths. In making the album, Spectrical challenged himself by using only acoustic guitar, violin, and occasional analogue noise as the sole sound sources. The original recordings were transformed with various computer-based processes into otherworldly yet intimate soundscapes. A reel-to-reel tape machine was used and manipulated by hand to add vintage textures and imperfections, and a Eurorack system was used for additional sound design. The resulting aural environments invite the listener to daydream about crystalline caverns, subglacial oceans and iridescent atmospheres in a world far from our own.
