Aaron Martin & Justin Wright – Light Poured Out Of Our Bones
For the last instalment in their Circa series, Preservation capture the debut collaboration from astral traveller Justin Wright (Expo 70) and electro-acoustic explorer Aaron Martin. Both musicians have established illustrious, singular catalogues of electronic music with quite varying approaches, but consolidate a common ground on ‘Light Poured Out Of Our Bones’, realising an epically deserted, widescreen psychedelia as potently transcendent as anything they’ve done individually. We embark the journey with the out-of-body witness of ‘Brush Fire’, scanning a landscape of scorched-earth guitar noise with peyote vision, before the empty vastness of ‘Moon Smoke’ unfurls resonant plumes of psychedelic synth textures, and ‘Sleep Threaded Into Ashes’ heightens the mood with a religious reverie of grand organ swells and frothing electronics. The ultimate conclusion is the title track, an ecstatic eleven minute drone hypnotizer with a brooding undercurrent of sputtering machine rhythms and seething synth noise that’ll either bring you back to earth or leave you frazzled and stranded.

The word “robot” (from robota, Czech for “work”) made its public debut on this date in 1921, when it premiered on stage in Karel Capek’s play R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots). The play told of a world in which humans relaxed and enjoyed life while robots – imitation humans – happily did whatever labor needed to be done. Not unexpectedly, the robots eventually rebelled and took over the world. The term “robot” achieved its own world domination in 1923, when the play was translated into English; it quickly overran its competition, precursors “android” and “automaton.”
Apparently from Czech robotnik (worker) or robota (work).
