(Un)Yielding (I) Richard Knox

A-Sun Amissa mainstay Richard Knox continues his solo drone explorations with this suite of six long-form ambient works. (Un)Yielding is presented as a trilogy of releases and finds Knox in real zonal, blissed out form.

Over these six, drifting and horizontal drones there is a sense that time has slowed. The natural saturation from the use of 4 track recording reveals a dense dissonance and a sombre, unsettling mood, dragging you into a blurry and confused world.

Recorded at Knox’s Cloud Blunt Moon studio, and the follow-up to 2023’s sound/art/installation piece Land Marks, (Un)Yielding is trance-inducing work. Deep, decaying ambient movements buried within grainy, distorted textures and maximal disintegration. This is midnight music. Brooding, floating and strung out.

Released digitally and over three separate cassettes, each an edition of 50 with artwork and packaging by Richard Knox and Dark Peak Press.

Recorded at Cloud Blunt Moon, Glossop in 2024. Electric guitar, cheap synths, field recordings and fx processing were all used to make this noise before melting and destroying it via tape loops and weary 4 tracks.
