Steve Von Till's Ambient New Album and Spoken Word Release out Today on Neurot Recordings

STEVE VON TILL’S AMBIENT NEW ALBUM: A DEEP VOICELESS WILDERNESS  AND SPOKEN WORD RELEASE, HARVESTMAN: 23 UNTITLED POEMS OUT TODAY VIA NEUROT RECORDINGS   LISTEN / SHARE: https://smarturl.it/stv-advw

Steve Von Till's latest offering in this new chapter of his solo work arrives today with the release of A Deep Voiceless Wilderness, his first ambient music release, achingly beautiful and with neo-classical learnings. The album is a hallucinatory and elegant rumination on our disconnect from the natural world, each other, and ultimately ourselves. Also arriving today is Harvestman: 23 Untitled Poems, a spoken word release with a difference, delivering an intimate and captivating reading of the collection with sound enhancements.  For some listeners, A Deep Voiceless Wilderness may recall the work of modern composers like Jóhann Jóhannsson, Brian Eno or Gavin Bryars. For Von Till, it’s about surrendering to the spirit of place—and to the original intent behind his 2020 solo album, No Wilderness Deep Enough. That album marked a significant first for Von Till: It was his first solo record without a guitar in hand. Instead, Von Till intoned powerful and thought-provoking lyrics over piano, cello, mellotron and analog synthesizers. A Deep Voiceless Wilderness is that same album without Von Till’s words.  “This is how I originally heard this piece of music,” he says. “Without the voice as an anchor or earthbound narrative, these pieces have a broader wingspan. They become something else entirely and unfold in a more expansive way. The depth of the synths, juxtaposed with the strings and French horn, have space to develop and allow the listener to imagine their own story.”

Recent Praise For Steve Von Till:  “Hauntingly gorgeous” Brooklyn Vegan “a brooding piece kept in motion by long drags of strings, around which simmer eerie synth drones, industrial percussion, gothic piano”  Rolling Stone "Steve Von Till succeeds masterfully here in producing an ambitiously creative work that stands up to comparisons with the luminaries of the ambient and contemporary classical music worlds." 8/10 Ghost Cult "The music is light and airy, simple yet deep and stirring with each rise and fall of the sweeping strings giving A Deep Voiceless Wilderness a feel like a soaring bird viewing a lofty mountain range...a beautiful experience to surrender yourself to." The Sleeping Shaman “This album soars and transcends genres... one of the heaviest and most thought-provoking records of the past decade” CVLT “meditative...a swirling, hypnotic mélange of ambient, neo-classical and gothic Americana” Revolver “explores ambient soundscapes, giving emphasis to the words and poeticism of his lyrics. The spiritual tug and introspection of his prior solo outings remains intact” Consequence of Sound “powerful and thought provoking” Decibel “for all the enormity of its spacious meditations, they also offer us a chance to stretch out, take a breath, and even tap into untouched sources of strength before we head into the next storm.” Chicago Reader “Perfect to getting lost in... dark, spacious ambient arrangements anchored by solemn, soothing vocals” Exclaim!  Also a first for Von Till was Harvestman: 23 Untitled Poems and Collected Lyrics, his first book of poetry. Published by the University of South Dakota’s AstrophilPress, the book established Von Till as a formidable and thoughtful author of verse—a fact that Neurosis fans knew all along, but the wider world was only just becoming aware of.    “There is a depth of hope, acceptance and loss that permeates these poems,” Joseph Haeger said in his review for The Inlander. “Like any great piece of art, Harvestman contains multitudes, and that’s exactly what I was hoping for when I cracked it open. Von Till has already established himself as a great musician, and he’s about to put his stake into the ground proving himself to be a damn good writer.”  About this reimagining of Harvestman, Von Till says, “Being a constant sound-seeker, I thought it would be more interesting to have some textures and treatments to break up the intimate voice recordings,” Von Till says of his decision to add some atmosphere to the spoken-word version of Harvestman. “The background sounds used on some of the tracks were pieces related to No Wilderness Deep Enough that were either not used or repurposed to interweave further connections between my artistic output at this time of my life.” EXCERPT FROM HARVESTMAN: 23 UNTITLED POEMS
