about

This album was entirely composed by C. Reider
It was made in response to the never-explained disappearance of our beloved cat Murphy on September 2, 2002.

It was assembled using the shared sound sources of the Drone Forest collective:

Michael J. Bowman
C. Reider
Dave Stafford
Ian C. Stewart

REVIEW BY ROB HORNING:

I wasn't too sanguine about the possibilities of this disc, on which three separate individuals are credited for "noises". True to the billing, Our Ghost in Her Wood is nothing if not noisy. The album consists of nothing but ambient hums and random rumblings, sort of the outdoor-urban equivalent of a room tone. Indeed, when I listened to this while I walked down 57th Street, I thought the batteries in my Walkman had died, so indistinguishable was the music from the street noise surrounding me. Suffice it to say that the music is well-suited to accompany your next dour art installation, or perhaps your next anxiety dream.

The city soundscapes were easier on the ears than the more organic-sounding experiments. The Drone Forest is clearly not a place you want to lose yourself in; their music is deliberately unsettling, particularly on "Seventy Eight", which sounds like a slowed-down recording of a cannibal feast, replete with distended gobbling sounds and the dull clattering of devouring teeth. This makes it perfect for party-clearing and neighbor alienation, but likely useless for legitimate entertainment purposes.

about

Drone Forest

Drone Forest were:
Michael J. Bowman
C. Reider
Dave Stafford
Ian C. Stewart

The Drone Forest collective worked by using sound sources pooled on a shared internet server (because they all lived very far apart). Each member composed work individually using that sound source library as base material.

Drone Forest ceased operations in 2008.
