Artist: Uma Pessoa's Symphencic Postchestra
Title: The Unwinding Hours

An old acquaintance recently reached out to us. They were staying at one of the majestic hotels where Unagh's first symphony band, Uma Pessoa's Symphencic Postchestra, used to do winter residencies, The Timberline Lodge. Our friend was there working on the libretto for Kestrel, our opera, and they struck up a friendship with the barkeep, as writers are wont to do. This whiskeyslinger, much to our surprise and delight, revealed that the hotel had old wax cylinder recordings of one of the Postchestra's performances.

Our friend notified us and we arranged for these recordings to be digitized.

Here you find the rare, lost recordings of our distant past. They document our initial collaborations with the composer and survivalist, fencepost, who wrote the tunes that we adapted for our skiffle band.

visit fencepost.bandcamp.com to hear more of the composer's astoundingly prescient works!

Enjoy

Conceptual music built from field recordings

Sound art for dreaming, drifting, disappearing

Ritual magick, slow to cast; slow to coalesce

Invocations unintended for human ears

Music in geologic time

Aureality for the non-conscious mind
