SideVayse: SVYS002 | Darkness, Darkness - Show notes
In this SideVayse Buckley conjures up a live atmospheric soundscape to Hine's meditation on Darkness. So, find a quiet room, turn off the lights, put on your headphones and hitch a ride with Vayse to the heart of Darkness. Recorded 20 February 2023.
For the gearheads amongst us, Buckley's setup for this recording was a Soma Lyra-8 running through Red Panda Particle and OTO Bam pedals.
If you have a Spotify account and 80 minutes to get a bit intense and melancholy in a fairly adolescent way, a link to Hine's writing playlist for this episode is here: Darkness, Darkness.
