This is from the depths of my drone-minimalism phase,
peaking about 3 years ago. Windy &
Carl are a kind of staple of drone, having been around for quite a while and
released at least 5 or 6 albums. Fortunately, this is not quite as minimal as what those really serious
minimalists like to listen to, like the Disintegration Loops or Philip Jeck (I
think). W&C make no pretentious
claims about their music, nor, as far as I know, do others make such claims
about them. Their music has always been
pleasing, spacey, meandering sessions of layered guitars and the occasional
sample. It isn’t the same kind of
layering you find in Olivia Tremor Control, where a million things are going on
at once – imagine laying down a very thin blue sheet of cloth. Then you lay down another on top of the
first, a slightly different shade. Then
another, and another, and pretty soon you’ve got a pretty thick piece of cloth
(or in this metaphor, music), that is not necessarily busy or complicated. Merely deep.
This particular album is especially watery-sounding, or
maybe it is simply a subconscious suggestion resulting from the album’s
title. It’s academic in any case because
you won’t care while listening to it. The first track is “Traveling,” a pretty standard exercise in Windy
& Carlism – a ghostly background chorus of guitars sets a general key, with
a light, acoustic repeating melody and a faster, higher travel guitar which
forms the foreground. “
I know, it sounds pretty boring. And the fact is that it is repetitive, droney music –
and that’s kind of the whole point. I
listen to it when I want to relax, read, study, or just stare at the ceiling
and quietly freak out. You should at
least give this album a try, and if you do, check out W&C’s other stuff;
obviously it is similar but it is also similarly good.

I’ve read that this does work. I’ve also read recommendations to try brushing your teeth with your opposite hand etc to mix things up.
Great post!
