Here is some more information about the release:
A collaboration between Nunc Stans (Anthony Paul Kerby, Canada) and Mystified (Thomas Park, USA)
An immersive set of richly detailed dreamscapes that flow and shift with a sophisticated ease and engaging lyric beauty. Expect a haunting mix of grainy drone, sonic curiosities, and occasional treated field recording, all bound together by exquisite drawn-out melodic lines.
The origin of this work is a set of long drone pieces crafted by Thomas from recordings of sferics (electrical discharges in the atmosphere). These flowing treated noise pieces then served as the basis for Anthony’s more synth-based accompaniments and sonic embellishments.
