about

The Department of Works album ‘Signs & Signals’ is an extension of previous Glove of Bones & Cousin Silas collaborations that also includes musical parts and contributions from Hans Castrup (whose interventions are profound and skilled), izzyhereyet and his colleagues Ursula, Emma & Elliot from RWCMD. Finally, the masked and anonymous ‘Fawkes’, who prompted the creation of the GoB ‘Fawkes Mask’ album. More about that here.

gloveofbones.com/2022/11/05/fawkes-mask/

The musical stems for Archiatis, Remedias, Focilia & Convalendian were sent anonymously by ‘Fawkes Mask’ and kick started this investigation into lost islands, mysterious occurrences, strange science and occult conjuring.

Each piece takes a painterly approach, overlaying or collaging sound textures from disconnected sources to the root pieces.
Credit at this point to German sound archeologist Hainbach, whose wonderful plugins and filters released through Audiothing have coloured this series almost throughout.
