Traversing the future wastelands today.
The protagonist and antagonist pitting themselves in psychic battles against the omnipotent Mechkenna.
Dissolving the 3rd dimension to reveal the 4th.
Clouds Above Chaos “Cognitive Fault” is a journey into the ethereal and
the esoteric, up to the interpretation of the listener. There is a loose
underlying narrative to the album revolving around Terence Mckenna’s
theories, specifically his description of the merging of man and machine
and the approaching singularity.
"We had a vision of Terence Mckenna’s head affixed to the body of a
giant mechanical spider, The “MechKenna”. Emerging from the pit amongst
the smouldering ruins of a felled civilisation. It would haunt us during
our sessions. These ideas were fuelled in part by the exploration of occult and dystopian themes
and our experience with the intangible. Take what you will."
This album was produced and compiled from 2006 - 2014, recorded in
numerous home studios and garages. We have used a variety of recording
equipment both in the studio and out in the wilderness or underground.
We have played various instruments, along with hardware, controllers,
smartphones, a multitude of plugins, software and spent countless hours
of production to get the end result we are happy with.
This album is meant to be a
psychedelic soundscape, a dark echo of the subconscious and uttering of a
distant future, a voyage into the depths of our collective psyche;
listening back through it all, we’re glad it happened but definitely
never want to go back. This material is intended to be listened to under
the influence, quiet or loud. We hope you enjoy the trip.
