albinobone You just realized that you now own more hours of drone music than you get in yearly vacation from your job. Even though you know this, you still can't stop. because Keith Berry is your vacation.

If this is you, then buy this album. If not, then there's always time.

patient_ot Elixir is an excellent album, but one that will probably appeal most to seasoned ambient and drone listeners that appreciate subtle, well-crafted albums that fully reveal themselves over repeat listens. I found the album very rewarding and recommend it highly.

Dotflac Water is to touch what drone is to the ears : eternally boring when kept in the distance, but a fantastic sham of immobility when approached close enough.

That's why in Elixir, the tiniest disequilibriums give birth to the most captivating harmonics, dropping us in an aqueous dimension between the dimensions where the music impersonates the element that it took its inspirations from.

Density gradients carries us randomly here, showing the intimate relationship uniting drone music and water. Favorite track: siku.

about

Our newest release is music by the British drone & ambient master Keith Berry who resides in L'Angleterre.

The alchemist Jim Haynes said of his work: "like falling snow, his dreamy work drifts with a poetic chill and tranquil hypnosis through which peripheral elements tease the listener with subtle details. it's so damn beautiful..."

A bit of background on this release: one of the great inspirations for invisible birds was Bernhard Günter and his seminal label trente oiseaux. the releases had an enormous influence and one of the gems was Keith Berry's The Golden Boat. It was with much pleasure when Mr. Berry wrote asking invisible birds to release his newest work Elixir, and after listening to the wonderful kosmic washes of sound, there was no question than to proceed. The CD features abstract drawings by Matthew Swiezynski, and graphics by the Brooklyn-based design kollektive Mount Analogue (Chi Yun and Matthew Swiezynski).

Mr. Berry said of the release: "the source material for the heavily granular processed sound that makes up elixir stems from another album of mine titled Simulacra to be released shortly by Infraction. Not so much a remix album but a different take on material that had a strong pull on me, wanting me to return to it and explore the permutations that digital editing software allows."

Keith Berry is one who gathers many moments of sound over a period of time. The material for this recording (and Simulacra on Infraction Records) traversed through berry's editing system like an alchemist's mystery-liquid, distilling through his alembic and becoming a final sonic spirit that takes innumerable forms and can no longer be recognized. This process is so beyond words and creates work that is further beyond words; the listener enters a Complete Void.
