Port Said

About

Port Said emerges from the early 1980s with the gravitational pull of a desert breeze whispering across the American ambient landscape, Keeler and Stefan Tischler crafting minimalist compositions that resonate in the infinite spaces between sound and silence, their self-released cassettes like "Eve of Departure" and "Indian Ocean" drifting in the magnetic currents of tape culture, the sustained hum of their drones echoing the tectonic shifts of an era enamored with the tactile intimacy of analog formats, their 1984 tape "Traveller's Companion" a vital waypoint in a journey that culminates in the harmonic convergence of their 2012 release on VINYL ON DEMAND, a rare LP that captures the resonant spirit of a project that spanned decades yet remains suspended in the timelessness of its own sonic sphere, analogous to the similar vibrations sent forth by contemporaries like The Doodooettes and Colin Potter, yet always distinct in its own resonant identity, a collection of sounds that invites collectors, DJs, and scene veterans to lose themselves in the delicate interplay of layered tones and the uncharted vastness of ambient soundscapes.
