about

"Around the hearth the first groups formed; around the hearth the first groups assembled; around it, the first alliances formed; around it the first rude religious concepts were put into the customs of a cult ... "

Alliance was recorded in Hungary, Chicago, Ireland, and Mexico City, respectively. Diverse methods of synthesis, musique concrète, and field recording combine in longform compositions of ambient, drone, and lowercase noise wall.

Four meditations on the nature of the passive human experience, mimicking the sacred focus around which society took order and shape.
