about

This album began with a single track, Contamination, that I made for a Conrad Schnitzler tribute album that never happened. I enjoyed making it so much that I thought I might do more and gradually this happened. I'd dearly like to think that Conrad might have enjoyed it - he was a true pioneer of sonic exploration and a major influence for me.
Darkness is very 'out of the box' and uses a lot of old analogue gear and celebrates the noise, hiss and hum that comes with it. It's dirty and it's lo-fi - the cast including the Elektron Octatrack and analogues such as the Vermona Perfourmer mk2. And of course the star of the album is my EMS Synthi AKS.

If you wish to make a CD, here are the track overlaps I find optimum

4 seconds between tracks 1&2
7 seconds between tracks 2&3
20 seconds between tracks 4&5
no overlap between the rest

credits

about

Paul Nagle Lancashire, UK

Paul has been writing and performing electronic music since the late 1970s influenced mainly by German musicians such as Roedelius and Schnitzler and bands such as Tangerine Dream and Cluster. However, all musical niches are considered fair game and failure is deemed more noble than non-participation. ... more

Harmonics in The Silence
by Andy Pickford

supported by 17 fans who also own “and darkness falls...”

Andy thrilled me with Replicant in the early 90s, and in my opionion his warm sound and perfect sense for harmonies is as ingenious as works by JMJ and so on. I had the honor to interview him for a German music magazine (and it was the editor's decision to cancel that), and then I lost contact to him and his music while starting my own modest music career. I'm glad that I have found "Hamonics in the Silence" - an awesome 3 hours album, spacey and dreamy, and Andy's sequences still rock!
