about

Golden Mitres consists of six guitar and synth drones that were recorded during the months of October and November 2023 in San Francisco while grieving the death of a close family member. Golden mitres marks 15 years since the 2008 release of "A skeleton, soon and then forever" on Dragon's eye recordings. While "A skeleton, soon and then forever" addressed the underlying notion that life is only a fraction of the time that the body endures on earth, with the songs attempting to communicate the insight that our bodies will in fact be skeletons for most of their existence, Golden mitres speculates more on the etherial spirit rather than the physical body. The recording's dark psychedelic atmosphere attempts to investigate something more spiritual and ambiguous. The titles of the songs refer to absence and departure, while the title of the album suggests a meditation on something sublime. "Skeletons" received most of its tone and character thanks to a very unstable hand made tube amp from the 60's, fancy microphones, and hot over wound guitar pickups. Golden mitres picks up the thread where "Skeletons" left off by utilizing the same, but now more aged and worn, amplifier, and a homemade guitar, fitted with a similar over wound pickup, to achieve a sparse and deeply melancholic mood. The addition of synths adds some atmosphere without overshadowing the guitar as the main texture. This recording is intended to accompany an exhibit of Marc Manning's embroidered artworks in Yucca Valley CA in March -April 2024.
