Murmer - We Share A Shadow


Patrick McGinley (Murmer) is a sound researcher who does not limit his field of action to environmental recordings.
He has also interest in producing sounds through objects which he manipulates into these spaces.
His previous works have been released by several important labels of the genre (Absurd, Drone Records, ICR, Ground Fault) and now is the time of Helen Scarsdale Agency.
“We Share A Shadow” has two long tracks where some collected field recordings are filtered by Patrick's perspective, obtaining, as a result, surrounding atmospheres, drone-oriented textures, hypnotic effects.
