about

Aural Histories Of The Jovian Survey - Book IV, the 7th full-length release by The Elderbranch Campaign, is the fourth in a continuing set of interpretive soundscapes chronicling a future mission to search for life on Europa, and explore Jupiter's other moons. It takes up where Book III left off, with the team struggling against the siren beauty of the fiery Io... While sheltering in a cave to escape a massive lava burst, they make a shocking discovery that will ultimately open one of the greatest mysteries in the history of our species: Human genetic material from before the Mount Toba super-eruption! A time when we came perilously close to extinction... How did it get there? Were there technologies in our distant past that have never been found? Was there direct intervention by extra terrestrials? Was there a parallel evolutionary track on Io? The search for answers is now the mission objective!

Stylistically and musically the album follows in the footsteps of Books I, II and III, with synths, found objects and highly processed field recordings creating complex and vivid audio sculptures that act as soundtracks for the mind. ABSOLUTELY BEST EXPERIENCED OVER HEADPHONES.

White Silence
by Ugasanie

supported by 6 fans who also own “Aural Histories Of The Jovian Survey - Book IV”

If you are a usual player of The Long Dark or The Hunter Call of the Wild in the Medved Taiga reserve, you will probably understand why I like these five winter themed albums so much. If you also have a special place in your heart for The Wendigo by Algernon Blackwood... same thing. Very ominous themes which translate very well the dangerous isolation and cold of winter.
