cicadae sillick - orion

orion began as an experiment in lo-fi recording; the unintentional constraints of the first piece became the ethos of the entire project: raw, experimental music written and recorded in one sitting with a minimal setup and an impulse-over-polish ethos. it is not only a creative renewal, forcing myself out of a long musical drought, but a spiritual one too. in times of great uncertainty it is very grounding to seek direction from the stars

written, performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered by georgia stargazer sillick ginsburg between 12/22/23 and 3/29/24

track 1 ("dipper") interpolates several musical elements from the record "spirit / songs for lovers" by somasis.

every sound on this record except for the electronic drums in track 4 ("dreaming of an eggshell christmas") was recorded to microcassette using a panasonic rr-930 microcassette transcription machine
