Title Description:
Two years after the colossal "Radio 1940", in which James Keeler had transcribed his conceptions of the 40's into music, Wilt is back with a new album (his third on Ad Noiseam), looking this time definitely further ahead. Progressing from his mostly atmospheric works, Wilt now integrates new elements into his encompassing sound, implementing cut-ups, modern electronics and a multitude of different styles.
A sound designer at heart, James Keeler once again used a variety of instruments and devices to create "As giants watch over us". A display of high resolution ambiance and up to date composition, this new album offers a fresh view of Wilt's creation, as James Keeler here incorporates various elements and influences of today's electronic music into his drones and sound-layering.
The modern aspect of "As giants watch over us" however does not end at the sound design. The focus of this new Wilt album is indeed current matters. As he did with "Radio 1940", James Keeler tries (and manages) to find sonorities which speak and evoke the underlying themes of the album, not walking the easy way of sampling and quoting
Wilt's most accomplished album so far, "As giants watch over us" is in the very words of Keeler "a sonic declaration of political unrest, social engineering and coming plagues". A soundtrack to demise and prophecies, this album is Wilt's take at the world of today, circling the listener in the deep and highly rewarding sound of Wilt.
