JEFF CARNEY
“Skylogue”
Following
the ambitious all-analog
explorations of “Imperfect Space
Journeys” (1988) and “Live
Electronic Music” (1989), Jeff
Carney was determined to push
further into new sonic territories
and to continue to strive for even
more originality while not yielding
to the prevailing trend towards
digital synthesis. And so, in 1990,
Jeff Carney recorded some of his
most ambitious analog electronic
music. Those recordings were once
thought to be lost — rumors about
their existence made the rounds —
but the long lost third solo album
never materialized.
Now, SKYLOGUE will soon be here.
Produced by Eroc and Jeff
Carney and featuring a special guest
appearance by Richard Pinhas,
“Skylogue” reaches into cosmic
territory that stays true to the
masters of ‘70s electronic music
while also managing to encompass a
completely original and
unprecedented musical statement.
“In fifty-plus years of
doing this, I’ve never covered
anybody else’s music, but I may
have to record this piece for a
Heldon album. That should tell you
what I think of it.” — Richard
Pinhas, speaking about ‘The
Landscapes of Death,’ on which he
contributed his distinctive
electric guitar.
The album has been transferred from
the original analog master tapes by
Jeff Carney.
Newly mixed by Eroc and Jeff Carney
and prepared for vinyl cutting in HD
24/96 resolution.
