notes
Pholde is a sound project created by Alan Bloor that began in 2000. It involves producing haunting, dark drones from metal of different tensile strengths. Alan Bloor was born and raised in Windsor, Ontario and began experimenting with sound in the mid '80's,
working with poetry performers in Detroit, Mich., and contributing to dance-performance soundtracks throughout the '80's and '90's.
In 1988, Alan moved to Montreal and started a sound project called Knurl. Since then, he has performed at festivals with Jim O'Rourke, Thurston Moore and Alan Licht, and has toured the eastern United States and Japan.

Beautiful like the damp ochre earth...
author: Raseac CisruListening to this CD raises images of primitive, milleniae-old rock formations and earthen strata that adjoin the narrow trail down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. The beauty of nature's simplicity and grandeur overwhelm the diminutive visitor and encourage contemplation of the timeless, the ineffable. Pholde transmutes the sounds of metal, concrete and other 'primitive" sources into palpable, organic tones and drones and chimes that reawaken the neolithic sould in all of us. Immerse yourself in this and you will know what the mountains hear as they stand guard over the landscape of the centuries.
