occhiolism

debut album from ragenap+dathon, an all bass vi drone/ambient duo

ragenap (joel berk) and dathon (corey lyons) have been quietly incubating their double-bass vi duo quietly over the last year or so, with a couple of stealthy releases floating around the internet already. occhiolism is their first physical release and will celebrate the first time the duo has played together live in front of an audience on May 10, 2024. these sounds were recorded over a few sessions in the fall of 2023, and later give the 'bitches brew' treatment - edited, spliced, and pasted back together into two 20 minute sound journeys. warm, deep drones, crunchy textures, and a thick coating of psychedelia promise to sooth your soul and let your busy mind drift away.
