about

The fourth full-length CD by AREA C, released this time by Students of Decay: "Glacial harmonics drift in and out of each channel, skittering, modulated notes pulse and surge, sputtering suddenly to luminescent manifestation before disappearing just as quickly." Originally released in 2007. The first 100 copies came with a limited edition mini CD titled "Touch Pieces," which contained three additional tracks.

"Even brute beasts protect themselves against the eyes of sorcerers and wizards by some inexplicable and marvelous gift of Nature. For instance, I am told that as a charm against sorcery, ring-doves nibble off the fine shoots of the bay tree, and then insert them in their nests...."
- Aelian, "On the Characteristics of Animals."
