We are very pleased to present the latest recordings by Birds Of Tin: a
project we have long admired and fate finally brought us together. The
two lengthy tracks of "Altarwise" were recorded in late 2004 and
remastered earlier this year. The first track is a 30-minute
experimental work that gradually moves through a wide range of sounds
(echoing chimes, mysterious noises, subdued clanking, drones). The
second piece is an epic 46-minute composition of deep ambient/drone
music that manages to float freely through the listener's imagination
while keeping his attention.

Brooke Oates' Birds Of Tin project has been active since 1996. His
previous works have been released on such labels as Manifold,
Solipsism/Self Abuse, Syntactic, XZF, and Hypnos. Additionally, Birds
Of Tin has collaborated extensively with such artists as Rapoon,
Mechanism, and Augur.

While many modern day experimental artists have moved on into the computer
realm, Birds of Tin has remained true to the experimental sound of tape loops,
lo-fi samplers, and collections of unique toy instruments running through small
fx boxes. The sound of the work may have become more cohesive and seamless over
the years, but the methods have largely remained the same. Birds of Tin was
always about creating and expressing by opening the heart and mind to the
muse...in this way the sounds flowed through the artist, not from the artist.
Birds of Tin is honest music. As the quote from Jackson Pollock states
emphatically, every artist paints what he is. In the case of Birds of Tin, the
sounds are no mere window dressing..this is who he is.
