Dark Ambient From the Mohawk Valley
My Original Sound-Source of this video was produced using my own DAT Recorder back in the pre-dawn hours of a spring morning in 2003. The sound was later mastered a few years back. Starting at twilight and extending through the early pre-dawn hours, the heart of the Mohawk Valley (in upstate NY) produces an enveloping sound that brings comfort, like a dark womb, whilst simultaneously evoking images of some dark presence afoot: Strange Night Birds. The Ancient Spirits of the Mohawk/Iroquois gliding through the somber night air; all bracketed by the recurring ghostly-wails of the night trains winding their way throughout the sleeping valley. The effect is most captivatingly atmospheric and arouses both solace and haunting mindscapes.
