During their numerous jaunts through time, space and sound, the band have experienced many adventures. In this musical extract, Dr Garland Vanderbilt has found himself separated from the rest of his band of time travelling audio scientists. Faced with the intense beauty of his new surroundings, and caught in a moment of deep reflection, Vanderbilt is left facing the enormity of his current situation, which finds him sinking into a wild depression. This instrumental single is a sonic representation of his frame of mind, blending elements reminiscent of Pink Floyd and The Beta Band to create an atmospheric audio tapestry.
The Helmholtz Resonators are a renegade group of psychedelic time travelling audio scientists who have been playing and writing music together since the turn of the century. They studied acoustic science and the work of Hermann Von Helmholtz, being particularly inspired by his book On the Wires of our Nerves, essential reading for anyone interested in the science of sound and sound synthesis. Heavily inspired by the ethos behind concept albums, the band have created a repertoire of songs that are as eccentric as their image, touching on influences as diverse as The Residents and The Kinks to LCD Soundsystem and Hieronymous Bosch.
The Mystery Of Woolley Mountain is released 13th April 2015 via Proving House Digital.
