MS03: Wilt – White Chrysalis In Blue

We tried to relax last night after the shitshow birthday party Saturday night. I was told I needed to watch this movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, which I ignored when it came out because it looked stupid. I was actually a bit surprised by the film; it was pretty good! Maybe, now that I’ve learned my lesson, I should wait until I actually see a movie to say whether or not it sucks!

Of course, the best way ever to relax is to listen to Mystery Sea CDr’s and nod off, like a real drone junkie. By the way, I’m still looking for a few of these releases, so if you are reading this and looking to sell yours, or if you can fill in gaps in my collection even with MP3s of Mystery Sea releases I don’t already own, please contact me. Just assume I need them all and if you’ve got one I already have I will let you know. That said…

The official press release for this one reads, “WILT (James P. Keeler’s main musical vehicle) is a name currently on everybody’s lips in the field of experimental/dark ambient noise…From project to project, sound sources may vary greatly, moulded by a concept or a prevailing mood, but there’s always some common denominator & unique stamp. For MYSTERY SEA, WILT has divided into its quietest realms so far, offering a textured snaking audio-exploration of low submerged plateaux, a flow of muffled clanks and ghostly resonances… .white chrysalis in blue. is the soundtrack to a desolate laguna under an orange pale light, a dark pool of decomposed thoughts bathed along this rolling, breathing shapeless sea & deep below, .white chrysalis in blue. unfurls revealing subtle minimal evolving tones, composing the colours of a solemn drowned dream…

James P. Keeler introduced the recording by stating, “I wanted to focus on aquatic activity where by there would be a symbolism for growth or life. I found a picture of a nuclear reactor where the outer sides of the image were black and these dark tubes seemed to pierce the center where a pool of blue water highlighted by white held the reactor itself. I imagined this to be a spanning ground for a cocoon, possibly the birthing of a black hole butterfly. And thus my opus had a concept. The sounds represent the birthing on a molecular level, a white chrysalis in blue.”
