Patricia Wolf‘s second Balmat album is the soundtrack to experimental filmmaker Edward Pack Davee’s feature-length documentary ‘Hrafnamynd’, and mixes field recordings with AFX-esque lullaby themes, tape-mangled instrumental vamps and VHS-burn’d analog pads.
There’s something oddly soothing about ‘Hrafnamynd’, and without seeing the documentary it’s hard to know exactly why. Using film and digital, Davee recounts his childhood in Iceland through the volcanic island’s ravens, exploring the landscape and folklore while scraping his own nostalgia. And Wolf’s score attempts to mimic the surreal fusion of old and new by using her UDO Super 6, a powerful binaural analog-hybrid synth, to bring the past towards the present.
