about

This is the first installment of a projected series called Improvised Visions. Rumbling sheets of feedback, guitar figures, hypnotic reeds, and cryptic electric piano add up to a strange kind of distorted peace. These particular improvised visions can also, at times, walk you through ancient labyrinths, take you on board a telepathic submarine with Sun Ra deep off the coast of Egypt, and seat you at the banquet table for a slapstick buzzard carrion feast. These tracks were recorded live as they were improvised in Minneapolis, MN Oakland, CA and Hayfork, CA in 2014 and 2015

3wordSword is available on limited edition of 80 cassette tapes through Sonic Meditations: sonicmeditations.bandcamp.com

from FORESTPUNK:

“Distorted Peace” calls the faithful to prayer, descending to dank Cthonian depths with gently ebbing, droning bass guitar frequencies casting shadows on the wall of some dark cave, as an ominous dark wind belches forth from some unseen depth. “Kiss The Tomb” is what Miles Davis‘ In A Silent Way if the jams had occurred in Amando de Ossorio’s Tombs Of The Blind Dead, as bowing, groaning, scraping gongs meet aimless, ominous Fender Rhodes. What sounds like an Armenian duduk creeps in a third of the way through, giving a Middle Eastern ritualistic feel to the chapter.

“(Science) Cruci-fiction” reminds us why Jefferson’s one of our favorite avant-guitarists in existence, with trance-inducing geometric five-note clusters creating an odd, beating hypnosis against meandering melodica and dyslexic harmonica. Oscillators flicker in the distance, like the wings of giant bats marring a vast red rock horizon. It’s like some doomed Western ritual on some far off alien planet – equal parts Jandek, Morricone, and Rene Laloux in one fell swoop.

"3 Moons manage to bring in almost every form of meditative music on Earth (and most likely beyond), fusing ancient mysticism with a particular flavor of speculative fiction and a kind of Fortean spirituality that’s hard to put a name on, that brings to mind epiphanies reading Man, Myth, and Magic, and watching weird UFO conspiracy documentaries and back episodes of The X-Files."
