War Chief

War Chief by Vintage Spek

Another piece of martial sound art, this time depicting - again by the ancient way of the bass and drums - the experience of the typical strategist as he stands above the massed forces, on his hill. The rolling onslaught of the approaching forces (are they reinforcements for us or against us?) announced by a resounding shudder from afar, resonating through the earth and up through his feet. The piercing alarum of war, the cries of battle and the clash of weapons reach his ears, as he calculates, deliberates and speculates. He commands, but does he control? All hardware, no software - recorded direct to tape.

(contains tape-saturated bass for physical effects on capable systems but no digital clipping, so watch the volume if you're using laptop speakers and hear them clipping because the recording does not clip!).
