Viraeson

FSR's original dronemeister created a trilogy of albums in the late 1990's/early 2000's, offering dense sonic atmospheres and textures. After an eight year hiatus, 2009 has seen Vir re-emerge with brand new recordings. He is also working with FSR on a series of remasters and a box set of previously unreleased early material.

Sincere EP (2002)
This, Viraeson's third and final release of his first major period, is a chaotic mess of layers and overdubs, with fragments and musical non-sequitors cutting in and out unexpectedly. It took over two years to record and six months to assemble, with the artist taking only short naps and occasional bathroom breaks.



1. Shapes No Longer Have Absolute Definition
2. Not the Best

Two Long Works By Viraeson (1999)
Viraeson's second release was, much like the first, recorded direct to a stereo cassette - but it was a different deck. Very important.



1. Muddy Confluence
2. Gnanuque

Viraeson (1998)
Simple drones with thick, lo-fidelity textures, swimming in a warm lake of inexpensive reverb. Recorded over two nights direct to stereo cassette with a rare orange Portasound running through over a dozen stomp boxes, some of which were also orange.
