Sound artist Mikronesia has embarked on his stillest and most minimal album to date. Host is a two part tale of journeying. The first track contains field recordings taken from a winter camping trip at World''s End State Park. Part one ("Snow Wind Cast Into The Fire Well") explores the art of texture, using minimal chord changes and melody but presenting them in contrast to the flickering field recordings. The second part uses pure sine waves to explore the overtone series of the note "C". "Pure" uses clean sound to create a state of timeless stillness, slowly tearing apart the very fabric of tone.
