The liminal space between storytelling and dreaming is full of noise. Like whispers, flickering lines of static travel to the rhythm of tension, moving through moments of stillness and chaos. The sharp details of the hyper-personal become shared memories.
Dreams can be stories, their fabric transient and their logic malleable - like folk songs carrying ancient knowledge or clairvoyant wisdom.
White Dove Dream tells a story that only sound can. One that defies language and closed narrative; a story that is both a personal rumination and collective conversation.
There are layers of healing synthesis and dream logic improvisation; captured recordings coalesce somewhere beneath the scramble like deja vu. Like a diary entry, or a manifesto - noise is folk music and Icebear is noisy.
Icebear is Eilis Mahon, a sound artist from Kildare, Ireland.
Irish label Weeding follow up their reissue of Stephan Mathieu's Wurmloch Variation with a debut LP from a young Irish artist Icebear, entitled White Dove Dream. The record ducks in and out of dense, collaged electronics and shrill, blown out noise thats reminiscent of early Actress, Crys Cole & Oren Ambarchi
Art by Mel Keane (Frog of Earth).
