Flight of a Green Heron

Featuring:

Heron - Guitar

Alder - Flute

Devin River - Violin

This 30-minute raw, live capture peacefully unveils Heron’s spiraling electric guitar arpeggios, with movements of meditative drone work. A deep and soil-rich soundscape that offers the listener an experience into Heron’s personal and profound earth descent. Alder’s deeply resonant flute wisps hold council with those whom we only feel. A haunting yet calm and affirming spake to the spirits through an implementation of sacred breath work. The antiquity of Devin’s violin sings to spirits, while braiding the strength of the whole in a most beautiful and tender way. Flight of a Green Heron’s tranquil and introspective spiritual sound craft weaves a serene, chamber-like devotional world music.

At times, I’m reminded of the cinematic work of Bruce Langhorne, early Amber Asylum, Yatha Sidhra’s ‘A Meditation Mass’, or perhaps Between’s ‘And the Waters Opened’. Flight of a Green Heron’s unhurried pace and contemplative nature ease the mind while inducing a heightened feeling of well-being. Prayers performed through stillness after fire and the spaces within the roots.

A debut full-length studio album is in development...

Cover art revealed for the forthcoming debut LABYRINTHUS SOLITUDINEM `Tenebras Mentis Excessus : Possession’ - deluxe 6” gatefold CD & digital. LABYRINTHUS SOLITUDINEM a.k.a. Andrew Ewan McInnis, is authentic and creative! A multi instrumentalist and composer through the sonic implements of drums, percussion, guitars, keyboards, synthesizers and horns. With vocal assistance by M. Nihilist, McInnis sets a deepening focus on esoteric studies and practices, film score, sound design, jazz, classical and music history from ancient to Harlem renaissance. Andrew Ewan McInnis (AE Machinas) is perhaps one of the most unique and original artists working in underground music today.

…………………………………………………………………………………………….

I was given the honour of crafting the entire artwork and layout for this release. Most of you are unaware of my non traditional `collage’ art I’ve been creating for bands and my own music for many years now. Elements within the process include original photographed imagery, mixed with pressed & scanned flora meticulously cleaned and digitally layered. This beings head dressing is a heavily layered scanned Lucifer Crocosmia flower from our garden. The beings neck adornments are scanned in seed pods from a dried floral arrangement to create said necklace. The bust of this being was shot in a museum and manipulated. Anyhow. More to come and expect this release to drop sometime late summer/fall 2025!

Glass Throat Recordings just moved into a new office...

As I look to grow the label, I've moved into a dedicated office space which is adjacent to the performance/rehearsal space. Business will be conducted out of here obviously. However the fun part is, coinciding with performances the office will be open to those in attendance. Offering a space that sort of works as a GTR store and merchandise area for the performer of the evening.

Thanks for taking a look and more to come...

An all new space for extremely intimate performances...

We have finished our performance & rehearsal space and wanted to share with you some pics. Glass Throat Recordings offered our very first showcase (as a newly dedicated space) nearly a year ago now. We were extremely grateful to have hosted our friend Patrick Walker of 40 Watt Sun / Warning. Hailing from the United Kingdom, Patrick performed a private two hour set in front of 20 people.

We have plans for future performances including:

~ At the Head of the Woods ~

~ Elemental Chrysalis ~

~ Cycle of the Raven Talons ~

A few others are currently in the process of confirmation. More to come regarding shows. Below is a rehearsal pic taken from the Elemental Chrysalis as we prepare to support our forthcoming album. Unfortunately our beloved James is not pictured as he lives three hours South of us. However, we've been able to make it work so far. The flame is lit for him!

A very special thank you to my indigenous family, Aunties, Uncles, Sisters and Brothers I've personally had the profound and emotional experience of speaking directly with regarding their personal battles with spiritual cancer at the hands of Christian Nationalists and the tribal traumas deeply endured through cultural genocide and religious colonialism! I am unconditionally grateful and truly thankful for their medicinal teachings, trust, strength, understanding and respect confided within me.

Glass Throat Recordings stands in solidarity!

I dedicate this release to all my relatives of this great Turtle Island, and to all whom continue to suffer under Christian Nationalist rule and colonial suppression!
