An important change to the Sister Waize catalog.

As anyone who know's about this project has most likely already been informed to there have been a total of 3 episodes thus far in my approach to the exploration of sound and music. Originally, under the name of Sister Waize, I started making rhythmic harsh noise, I then moved from this stage into what I termed 'romantic bitpop' for quite a while and then about a year and a half ago, finally moved into what I consider to be the most mature personal approach to music I have come across yet, namely 'folding drone'.

Up until now, including my recent release of "A Dawning of Wonder", there have been a total of 9 albums representative of the term 'folding drone', yet as the result of much deliberation I have decided to remove three albums from such suggestion. The albums are:

"Pyrrhic Mind"
"Creatures in the Trees Will Guide Me Through the Darkness"

and
"OIS:DNG"

My reasoning behind this change is simply that these albums do not fully embrace what folding drone is. Although they were produced technically in more or less the same way as the remaining 'folding drone' albums they lack a certain drive which separates them from the rest of the group. The albums can still be found on the Sister Waize blog in the main post.

As usual any questions can always be forwarded to my e-mail at 'dmmekler17@gmail.com'.

New Release: "A Dawning of Wonder"

This release stands as my latest work with folding drone music and the exploration of meditation and introspection through music and sound since the three part album "The Realignment Series", released earlier this year. The album is not intended to be listened to all at once, especially on the first time through, one track at a time is recommended when following my own personal suggestions. I find the first and third tracks of the album to be very powerful with regard to the certain variety of affects I strive to engender in the listener of my music, possibly even more so than "The Realignment Series". Do not think of this as you do any other music, it is composed under a much different light and ought to be regarded in the eyes and ears of the listener as such. Please refer to this post for further suggestions on how to listen to folding drone music.

Released December 3rd, 2011.
