Nestled within the enchanting environs ': ,: of the Druidstone, a mystical coastal retreat in West Wales, the :, : group embarked on an immersive week-long recording session. : :' Here, they crafted unique "jump-off" devices for each musical ': ,: piece, drawing inspiration from unconventional structures and :, : atmospheres. : :' ': ,: From diagrams utilising shapes and repeated patterns to a :, : revolving lamp throwing out dappled light and a mobile app : :' creating intense strobe effects in front of each musician, each ': ,: device set a state of mind and a unique approach to their :, : compositions. : :' ': ,: Studio Owz, housed in a converted country church, provided an :, : ideal setting for their creative exploration. The resulting : :' compositions, ranging from intense to hypnotic, invite ': ,: listeners to embark on a deeply personal voyage, weaving their :, : own narratives amidst the ethereal soundscape. : :' The fruits of a strong and joyful bond between five of the UKÆs ': ,: finest musicians, æFlock IIÆ stands as another essential :, : recording without genre or category.
