The Gathering

Originally Released: 1 January 2000 'The Gathering' - was a work that originated from materials gathered one afternoon at La Push, Washington, USA in 1995. Inspired by meetings with Jeph Jerman and also this special location next to the Pacific Ocean. The piece was started as an imagination of speculated dreams made by creatures living in intertidal zones - edges of land and ocean - specifically barnacles. Later the track was slated for release from the Hamburg label Wachsender Prozess on vinyl, but this never happened. Parts of the materials in this piece were later used for the releases 'The Great And Riverless Ocean' and 'Molt And Anecdote'. Michael Northam.
