More Info

"In May of 2014, Canadian experimental / ambient guitarists Aidan Baker and Eric Quach (a.k.a. Thisquietarmy), who have frequently performed and collaborated together, recruited three drummers—David Dunnett (CA), Jérémie Mortier (BE), and Felipe Salazar (CO)—to accompany them for a performance at NK in Berlin. The resulting performance—a freeform, semi-improvisational study in rhythmic, psychedelic, atmospheric spacerock—was documented as a CD release on Belgium's Consouling Sounds under the moniker Hypnodrone Ensemble. Following a second performance in September 2014 at Incubate Festival in Tilburg, NL, Hypnodrone Ensemble, with the addition of Gareth Sweeney (IE) on bass, entered Golden Retriever Studios in Berlin to record a follow-up to their live debut. The results, edited down from several hours' worth of recorded material and mastered by James Plotkin, became the album The Shape of Space, released as a limited LP (100 translucent vinyl, 400 black vinyl) by new Berlin label Calostro Recordings."
