Solus Variations is the result of my own excavation, extraction and repurposing of the gems I found while exploring Solus in my studio. Tangential processing techniques yielded deeper and more mutated results as the recording sessions continued. These seven pieces are themselves mirror images of Solus, albeit focusing on singular aspects of the original piece rather than the whole. You could even say that each “variation” is actually a segment of Solus, zoomed in on to a microscopic level, to reveal more intimate and engaging levels of detail that were deliberately avoided in the original piece. This is the sound of me taking Solus to different climates and exotic locales, applying it like a layer of paint over the landscape itself, then removing the landscape and examining the alien and organic shapes that remain.

For the intrepid listener, other possibilities may present themselves in the practice of playing these variations over/under Solus itself, creating a potentially endless and unique atmosphere tailored to your own listening needs.
