Weird State Inbetween is a collaborative project between Anne Sulikowski of Building Castles Out of Matchsticks and Scott Johnson of the Lonely Flight. "It's You Who Made My Head Spin" is a recording by the duo (with guest D.P. of Offensive Orange) taken from a live performance at the AMBiENT PiNG in March of this year.

The disc explores a dark and claustrophobic environment filled with metallic scrapes, sampled voices, piercing tones and deep pads. It's a kaleidoscope of sounds coming from all directions, sometimes with a rhythm or melody, sometimes with nothing distinct that you can identify or trace. It can be unsettling at times, anxious at others, sometimes frightening even. Alternatively it can be soothing, calming, almost loving in it's embrace, but only briefly, only long enough to remind you that you're not alone. Vocal loops, melodic touchstones, they all combine to ease the transition from the real world into this wierd state in between. And as you listen it becomes abundantly clear that everything a round you is very very very beautiful. You just have to know what to look for...

Anne and Scott (and guest D.P.) played a wonderful set that evening, and we're lucky to have this reminder of how wonderful they can be together. These wierd states expand between and beyond, and we're better off for it.
