parsons1970 Soooo good, everything it has been and more.

alanmc1 This particular track says it all, I love it when one is taken through various soundscapes, not knowing where one will end up next. An inspiration for my own album Hull. Favorite track: Cancer in the Soft Breeze.

about

Contemporary and historical Porest recordings channelled from behind the somnambulistic event horizon. The now sound... The bleak oblique. The minimal and the maximal. Filmic chamber drones, meditative radio massage and forged spiritual violence bury pop ephemera into the on-site swirling murk of de facto instrumental nihilism and orchestral context-free drama.

Side A: A harmful journey into sickness and despair. You get sick and die.

Side B: You are healed. You stand erect and live forever.

Recorded by Porest and friends between 1995 and 2020 in West Oakland, Germany, Sumatra, Syria, Hanoi and London.

Porest’s blatant embezzlement of human syntax and cultural misunderstanding broadcasts vital mixed messages.

Live performances integrate Porest’s music, performance and sound into a grand total sum that can’t be unseen. ... more
