BLACKSMITH NOISE RECORDS

Substak + Séraphitüs-Séraphîta

This collaborative effort was born out of an old track of Substak’s that was titled, “Mirror”. Each track is a ‘shard’ of its former self; re-envisioned by Substak and Séraphitüs-Séraphîta. All renditions remain true to the looped nature of their original source, yet venture into new moods and atmospheres within each shard. Variations include harsh noise, dark ambient, minimal sub-frequencies, and drone.
