Some musical bifurcations -

Adam Bryanbaum Wiltzie - The Endless Battle Of The Maudlin Ballade



Stars Of The Lid - Requien For Dying Mothers



Stars Of The Lid are a drone-based ambient music duo, comprising Brian McBride and Adam Wiltzie. The duo formed in Austin, Texas in 1993 and they list among their influences minimalist and electronic composers such as Arvo Pärt, Zbigniew Preisner, Gavin Bryars, and Henryk Górecki, as well as Talk Talk, Labradford, and ambient innovator Brian Eno. Their songs are largely beatless soundscapes, composed of droning, effects-treated guitars along with piano, strings, and horns; volume swells and feedback fill the gap of rhythmic instruments, providing dynamic movement within the songs.
