Description: HARVESTMAN, the creative endeavor by Steve Von Till of Neurosis fame, is set to unveil a trilogy of albums across three consecutive full moons. The first installment, Triptych: Part One, debuts alongside the new track Psilosynth, accompanied by its visualizer which was created by Von Till himself. The song includes the collaborative efforts of Al Cisneros from Sleep and OM.
On the process of creating Psilosynth, Von Till states: “My friend, Al Cisneros played bass on a HARVESTMAN track years ago on my In A Dark Tongue album, and has always said he’d be willing to put down more whenever needed. In 2019, I took him up on that offer and sent him raw tracks including a primitive drum rhythm, layers of Moog forming an evolving chord, and a pulsing track originating from my Grendel Drone Commander processed through a Sherman Filter Bank. Al found a perfect groove that anchored all these cosmic particles. Once the structure was revealed, I responded with guitars, mellotron melodies and percussion. The mix is a spaced-out journey allowing the various pieces to ebb and flow, taking turns rising to the top then dissolving back into the primordial.”
