Tirath Singh Nirmala - Blossom Dawn Freckles

Label: Self-released
Format: CDR
Released: 2006

Last oop TSN upload. And as a novelty, a (tiny) cover. It's been emotional.

Awesome variety on this release. Perhaps a little too much? Nah. There are more than noticeable traces of Neil Campbell on the final track. Ha. Here's some cryptic volcanictongue-isms for you:

"New limited edition CD-R from Astral Social Club collaborator Tirath Singh Nirmala aka John Clyde-Evans. Another schtoof straight through the third eye from this q-tip, with lycanthropic looped vocals and knotty violin rags that re-situate the milky cosmic romance of Tony Conrad and Jack Smith in a thatch-covered barn somewhere deep in the mud. Also features some unerringly piloted sheng singing, distorto sine wave tone momes, a buncha clouds raining steel shots of chanter, bamboo flute and a cascade of loomping doom. A mouthful of cotton wool butterflys, from a guy who knows how to gargle a buncha significant modern alphabets. Highly recommended, as is every toot from his peeper." -Volcanic Tongue

Tirath Singh Nirmala - Moor Cragg Mist

Label: Self-released
Format: CDR
Released: 2006

Penultimate upload here. African kindly uploaded Birch Clove Burst 1&2 and Tattv-guna-mala 1&2 over at wehavenozen. Moor Cragg Mist was briefly up in the volcanictongue rarities (you can pretend that it's still available through googlecache), but it's just been snapped up. Blossom Dawn Freckles is still available through vt.

"Self-released session (his 5th to date) from the revitalised Tirath Singh Nirmala (aka John Clyde-Evans), a forlorn extension of vocal, feedback and tactile drone strategies, with loops of voice generating pyramids of 4-D construction, computer-manipulated brain waves, harmonium-led prayer hovers, bowed guitar/bamboo flute rituals and plenty of damp earth magic. This guy is turning into a one-man UK underground and every release so far has been a mind-blower. Out of print." - Volcanic Tongue

Orphan Fairytale - Twilight Time

Label: Sloow Tapes
Format: Single-Sided Cassette
Released: 2006

"Looping casio keyboards inhaling magic dust and blowing it out into bright dancing psychbubbles. Lost star heaven of 100 copies."

this is one of my favourite sloow tapes releases. it shifts between fractured, whimsical melodies, crude rhythmic clanging and passages of industrial-like drone. a highly unique and enjoyable listen.

Tirath Singh Nirmala - Sahasri

Label: Self-released
Format: CDR
Released: 2006

An unusual one here. Sahasri has more in common with the mentality of minimalism than any other release: this one could pass for a high-frequency Theater of Eternal Music / La Monte Young piece. Lovely.
