Wordclock is back with his third album, Heralds, set to be released next week, 12th December, on Cryo Chamber and with it Wordclock hunts for the myths of old European sacred sites. Pedro Pimentel, the mastermind behind Wordclock, was on on a long journey through Porto, London and Berlin to record acoustic instruments and field recordings within the cities.
During months of work in the studio more people joined. Amund Ulvestad on cello and electronics, who previously helped out on Wordclock's second album Self Destruction Themes. Nuno Craveiro on Scandinavian instrument nyckelharpa. George Shmanauri on trumpet, from dark atonal jazz duo Phonothek. The resulting album Heralds breaks the fringe of the genre and re-assembles the pieces. It reveals itself as a dreamlike, spiritual and nihilistic album. Classical instruments float on a backdrop of tape loops and organic sound. Sacrificial and touching. In the player below you can give a listen to the tracks "Bell Ringing I" and "Bell Ringing II". Recommended for fans of dark jazz and neoclassical music. Heralds was mastered by Simon Heath (Atrium Carceri, Sabled Sun) and artwork was done by Erik Osvald. Link
