Alexander: With monolithic funeral drone experience….

The drone duo Alexander is Canada’s Kyle Alexander McDonald of ZAUM (Voices, Bass, Sub Synth, and FX) and Germany’s Jörg Alexander Schneider (Drums, Percussion) of free jazz band Jealousy Mountain Duo. Beyond the name being a shared common point, both veteran musicians got their start in music on drums; own and operate a recording studio on their respective continent, and have toured over 250 tour dates on each other’s continent in previous bands. Some weeks ago the band released the debut album I. The track Astral Descent,

Alexander knows no bounds, not physically nor musically. Convening via their shared appreciation of experimentation and true artistic expression within music and sound, the duo realized the time had come to create a metaphysical exploration in the realm of darkness with an album titled I as the result. Drums on I were recorded in Hückelhoven, Germany, with all other instrumentation and sounds recorded, mixed, and mastered in Moncton, NB, Canada.

Alexander identifies a connection and feeling within their individual creative headspace, allowing each of them to blindly lead the other further into the raw depths of unexplored regions. Commenting on how listeners will take the first release:

«Fans of our other musical endeavors should find this fits quite almost as expected in a sense. No lyrics, writing is channeled directly from the fringe of the universe. Reconsider the reality of your existence, in the present moment. Allow yourself to have your perspective altered!».

Just now commencing their audiological voyage, Alexander is a monolithic funeral drone experience. The dark and intangible descent into madness echoes with reverberation and drawn out riffs.
