about

The Creatures EP features a variety of musical talent cherry-picked from Wieland’s sprawling musical family. Electronic composer and vocalist REA appears on the atmospheric opener Creatures. Her voice moves like mist, floating through the song like strings. Lukasz Polowczyk, the voice of AINT ABOUT ME, can be heard on Medicine, supported by saxophone player Simon Spiess. This piece can be best described as an inter-dimensional portal leading into the tessellated space underpinning our reality. What Are You Doing Here closes the EP; but it’s the type of song you wish could go on forever. If you could bottle a syrupy summer, this would be it. It features Morris Kliphuis on french horn (altered / manipulated) as well as the sound of joy (aka a gang of playing children). The beautifully stuttering drums were added courtesy of Alexandre J. Maurer. The EP also features a brutalist meditation on distortion, the interlude Room 145. If the point of this EP was to lay out the fundamentals of a personal language while documenting the beauty of the life around you, to capture very specific moments, and make the listener feel as if they’re being transported into a film: mission accomplished!
