{"product_id":"hauschildt-steve-strands-lp-79644182051","title":"Steve Hauschildt - Strands [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eVinyl LP pressing. 2016 release from the electronic musician and former member of Emeralds. \"Strands is a song cycle that is about cosmogony and creation\/destruction myths. The title alludes to the structural constitution of ropes as I wanted to approach the compositions so that they consisted of strands and fibers which form a unified whole. This was so the songs could have the appearance of being either taut or slack without being fundamentally locked to a grid. So the sounds\/tones have a certain malleability to them and sound like they're bending through time. It's also grittier and more distorted than my previous albums. I wanted to try and capture that moment in nature and society where life slowly reemerges through desolation, so it has a layer of optimism looming underneath. The music represents this by seemingly decaying at times but then reforms and morphs in a fluid way back to it's original state. I was also inspired by the movement of rivers, particularly their transformative aspect and how they're in a state of flux and change, in particular the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland where I live, which notoriously caught on fire thirteen times because of industrial pollution in the 1960s and before. I was very interested in the dichotomy of oil and water and the resulting, unnatural symptoms of human industry. It's a very personal record for me as it is a reflection of my hometown where I grew up and where it was mostly recorded.\"-Steve Hauschildt.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorizon of Appearances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSame River Twice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA False Seeming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKetracel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTime We Have\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTranscience of Earthly Joys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDie in Fascination\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"39","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50561977286952,"sku":"79644182051","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3460131.jpg?v=1763984633","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/hauschildt-steve-strands-lp-79644182051","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
