After a 2-month hiatus Katiusha is back with the 8th episode of Above The Clouds: returning for a second meditation on the cirrus cloud as one season ends and another begins.
The show invites two special guests from the UK, Happa & Jabes. After a conversation about the similarity of granular synthesis and clouds they were kind enough to compose an hour long piece for this episode.
In their words, the process involved using granular sampling to sonically build the sky before adding textural elements and dissonant drones to emphasise the wispy aspect of cirrus. The outcome is a mesmerising soundscape that drifts between eeriness, warmth and reflection.
