Robe - In a Nest of Ravens' Blood

Kyle just posted this today

In A Nest of Ravens' Blood is the last official Robe. release. After the passing of guitarist Adam Cooley, the band's remaining member took all existing unused sessions and layers from the last 8 years and layered 2,004 layers of audio at all times made from 1,300 samples. At all times, however minimally you will hear 2,004 audio layers and see them set to layers of dust particles, smoke, sparks, trees, and other film footage that is constantly changing and never repeats. The video is directly affected by the audio itself where bass frequencies change saturation, mid range frequencies change glow brightness, and high end frequencies change the color hue. The entire track is an astonishing dismal 3 hour long dirge into the depths of recordings spanning 8 years. Originally, this idea was devised by the duo together however Adam did not live long enough to see it's completion as he passed in February of 2014. Eventually, this may see official release, but in the interest of getting it out to be heard it will be available here for free. Thanks for the support and please comment!

RIP Adam Cooley, a true underground artist.

I'm about an hour in and I find it amazing.

"dismal 3 hour long dirge into the depths of recordings spanning 8 years."

The concept and approach is oddly familiar to Current 93's, 'The Great In The Small.' However, it was only 61 minutes in length.
