about

Acre ~ Sacrifice (Digitalis, 2010)
An earlier album, Acre’s Isolationist (2009), opened my ears to the power of drone. Both albums share the same metallic strata of rich droning, which Sacrifice partially cuts through with rhythmic oscillation. Across three long-form pieces and two short interludes, the album alternates between clean continuity and pulsing indecision. The notes state “No Synths, No Looping, No Laptop, No Guitar”; what equipment Aaron Davis did use on this recording, I’m still not sure. Answers on a postcard, please. In a majority of instrumental and electronic music, beauty comes from textural warmth or hypnotic patterning. On drone releases, stone-cold darkness can be equally satisfying. But Acre’s music crafts none of these things. It offers an enormous, neutral space that completely envelops on every listen. (Samuel Rogers)

Written and recorded from april 2007 to august of 2009. mixed by Acre and Jeremy Romagna at Type Foundry Studios. mastered by Carl Saff
originally released on CD by foxy Digitalis.

this album was recorded using only eq pedals in a feedback loop. which were then multi tracked and run through various effects chains. then played via an 8 track recorder live to a stereo master. sort of a live dub technique.
