Our initial goal was to attempt to record Electromagnetic Voice Phenomena, but the project eventually took on a much different cast. We never succeeded in capturing any ghostly voices, but we reassembled the recordings into new compositions that captured the haunted spaciousness of the theatre. That’s where 139 Nevada began We returned to record in the theatre two more times while making these two records. Even if the spirits never raised their voices, we hope they were entertained by our presence. 139 Nevada consists of two discs - Encomiast ‘s “Masked Mirror” and "Slam Your Doors In Golden Silence" by The Copper Thieves, a coalition including members of Encomiast and the group Mandible Chatter. Both collections mine the rich sonic bed of the Belvidere Theatre - located at 139 Nevada, Central City, CO - but each one takes its own clear path. Limited to only 200 copies, 139 Nevada is a double CDR release containing two discs in sleeves, with two insert postcards packaged in a textured cardboard box. Packaging: Textured box w/Two Pro CDR's and two insert postcards Release Date: June 23, 2009 Running Time: Disc 1 - 57:12, Disc 2 - 44:40 " [full label website info] www.lensrecords.com "Eine geheimnisvolle Veröffentlichung in einer schmucken kleinen Pappschachtel mit zwei CDRs und zwei Postkärtchen, denen wir folgende Geschichte entnehmen können. Die Projekte Ecomiast & The Copper Thieves (fast personell identisch) erhielten Zugang zu einem verfallenen Provinztheater in einem kleinen Städtchen. Von dem Theatergebäude hieß es, dass hier Geister hausen würden. Die Musiker machten mit diversen Gästen Aufnahmen vor allem am Klavier im verlassenen Geisterauditorium und bearbeiteten diese Aufnahmen im Studio. Sie kehrten zwei Mal an den Ort des Geschehens zurück und fanden es irgendwie unheimlich aber auch spannend. Den Hörer erwarten zerpflückte und hallige Pianotupfer, manchmal kammerpoppig verdichtete Arrangements und viel verwaschene Atmosphärik. Der ganze Release wirkt irgendwie literarisch, wir können dies auch nicht näher begründen. Es bleibt etwas unwirkliches an den Klängen haften, obwohl sie nur milde experimentell sind."
