DEEP MAGIC – ALTARS OF VENERATION

alex — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 01:59:47 +0000

“Alex Gray is a man who’s been burning up the west coast with his subtle & euphoric psychedelics, either alongside Sun Araw or in his solo project, Deep Magic. For Moon Glyph’s 35th release we’re pleased to liberate Deep Magic’s nuanced drifting as a cassette entitled “Altars of Veneration”. Recorded at home in Los Angeles, “Altars” consists of the kind of wide-eyed panoramic ambience usually reserved for introspective & naturalistic time/space films. Infused with Gray’s particular sense of spatial relations, he fills his multi-colored spheres with flickering synths, glossy bottomless guitar ripples & shaded, abstract loops. Rapturous in its execution & cleansing for the spirit “Altars of Veneration” is a life-affirming, intimate expression of our universal vision.” -moon glyph

DEEP MAGIC – OCEAN BREATHS CASSETTE

alex — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 01:38:15 +0000

recorded in november 2010, a document of audio collage pairing seamlessly with video collage. created in conjunction with 2 videos for a dense sense experience.

these videos will be screened at the wire’s music festival at the museum of contemporary art on september 30th in chicago.

“’Ocean Breaths 1′ by Los Angeles’ Deep Magic is one of the most aptly titled songs I’ve heard in a while. Its nine-and-a-half minute run takes us on a shoegazing journey colored by bells, shakers, and the sound of slow, deep breaths. If you’ve been running around town, and have somehow forgotten to breathe, this meditative track will remind you. … We’re shown scenes of the African animals in the plains, layered over images of Ocean predators. … the deep focus on nature here works perfectly for this cleansing, zen track. The marriage of the two creates a space worth taking a break in.” – visitation rites
