Hiss Tracts = David Bryant of Godspeed You! Black Emperor & Kevin Doria (aka Total Life) of Growing Biography from the Constellation Records website: Hiss Tracts is an ongoing collaboration between accomplished and acclaimed sound sculptors David Bryant and Kevin Doria, who have for the past several years been diligently building up a body of captivating soundscape work. Both players are well-known for their work within various strains of drone-inflected and experimental music: Bryant as a member of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Set Fire To Flames, Doria as a member of Growing and for his solo work as Total Life. With Hiss Tracts they channel these bona fides into thrilling new territory. Doria and Bryant weave threads of dissonant drone, lush ambiance and sharp sonic textures into an immersive and complex sound world. While at first glance nebulous and disorienting, the duo mobilize an incredibly diverse sound palette to articulate a distinct intentionality and narrative flow, layered with haunting tension. The beat-less walls of sound erected by Hiss Tracts are rich, ornate and unmistakeably human (if perhaps at times a bit rough to the touch). Their album is called Shortwave Nights (May 2014).
