Iced Coffee

from 2 Smargaid Maerd by mr_mark_dollin

about

This is named after a growing obsession with ice coffee syrup mixed with milk which I was having every afternoon to trying to fend off sleep. I found a melancholic 2-chord set played with slow attack, distortion and loads of delay, to be the right sonic density to represent the small private joy of drinking this stuff. This 19 and a half minute jam of these two chords (A9 and G#/A9) with little bursts of harmonics and pitch dives, floats over a rising sine wave ostinato (via Transverb) and is later joined with wet rushing sounds. About half way through at a point I can’t remember the recording of the guitar was interrupted by Jarrad who was coming into The Lighthouse to see what the sound was! I said it was OK, slid back into the last moment and continued the drones. As the song draws to an end I was slowly rolling off the gain on the guitar so that the distortion was softer with each chord.
