Primordial Lands Arise is the second ambient music release by
SourceCodeX. Following a well-received and strong debut release called
CodeX Hypnos, (before releasing his still-in-progress, jazz-rock fusion
CD), SourceCodeX, has decided to release Primordial Lands Arise. Endless
inspiration came from many directions -- thus leading to this very
dark ambient CD's content. Fans of Jeff Greinke, Robert Rich and
Lustmord's darker works will find much to devour herein.
Beginning in December 2006, the world of soft synths called SourceCodeX back
for a return to his uniquely styled ambience. He prefers to build each
piece's myriad of waveforms mostly from scratch and then mutate it
into exactly the effect he desires. You will hear insects, machine noises,
found sounds, voices and snippets of vintage synths each mangled and warped
to fit into a bizarre combination. It is a strange journey through
many shimmering and flowing worlds of organized sound. If you think
you hear airplanes or monstrous footfalls, most of the time, these
were created by SourceCodeX from a single sound wave. Be it looping,
warping pitch or extreme flanging -- it is a lovingly pruned,
garden of unearthly delights. SourceCodeX remixed one track from his first CD
for digital downloads at sites like iTunes. It is also included here. But
all the other tracks were created in late 2006 and early 2007.

The theme or mood this time in Primordial Lands Arise is linked to
descriptions and/or visions of places we don't like to think about. We may
call these after-life lands by older names like Sheol, the Underworld,
Hell, Gehenna, outer darkness or the Abyss. SourceCodeX is very
sensitive to things of the Spirit of living Light, as well as being
wary of an ancient darkness that prowls this world. In his ambient
creations, one can sense a tension, a struggle, and an undercurrent
of unseen powers being considered sonically. Titles of his pieces give hint.
"DroneMass", "HellDreamVimana", "HiddenThingsBetweenThings",
"GnostixLabyrinth", "VainTraditionsAbyss", and so forth, give clues
to what one may encounter. But I venture to say this -- unless you heard his CodeX Hypnos
release when it came out -- you are in for one big surprise. It is
dark ambience like you have never heard before!

Total immersion in the soundworlds SourceCodeX crafts can be calmingly
disturbing or hauntingly beautiful. It is an ambience that strives to never
bore. This is cinematic ambience that plunges the listener into an
experience that they will not easily forget. Are these the echoes of
epiphanies, graphic infusions of grace, fever dream nightmares, near-death
visions, or bad acid trip flashbacks? You decide and let the artist know. Each
listener will come (or run) away moved and decidedly shifted. What a
maddening mosaic of silly-putty sound . . .

I want to dedicate this CD release in memoriam -- remembering the Polish Surrealist Zdzislaw Beksinski
His art graces this webpage in tribute to his vision of other worlds . . .
