Jonathan Coleclough 1

A favorite drone-based tape composer o' mine. Rhetoric to a minimum now. If your time is limited, I think I recommend the 2002 ("Alternate") version of Cake above all, followed by Halant-Heat-Beech. If your tastes are a bit less toward the grit/grind of konkret, and you prefere a little less tooth in your grain, I certainly recommend the more "ambient" Windlass, which is smooth but also strong.

From the sleevenotes:
I first met Jonathan Coleclough at one of Lady Blacksell’s impromptu but lighthearted garden parties. He cowered on the lawn and spoke about films. He went on to study Snipe in ditches with me for many a year and moved easily in the most fashionable salons before his sudden relocation to the Free State of Eldonia. There he shuns polite society and builds some sort of machinery, I forget what, whilst issuing to the world increasingly peremptory and imperious manifestos at which the world, of course, merely snuffles. He refused to see me upon my last visit, but I will always respect him for his sybaritic swish. He has few friends, no hobbies, and moves with the grace of a sloth.
