Ambient Harvest Vol. 2 from Arthur King is out now digitally, and on simultaneous stereo/quad immersive cassette.
A late-night zone-out session with ominous distorted drones, dark ringing guitar chords, muted beating drum spurts, and dreamy synth samples. Recorded on August 23, 2025 at the second Ambient Harvest, this drum and guitar performance yields a diverse, hard-to-pin-down selection of music.
Held in the backyard of AKP Recordings in Los Angeles, local cannabis grower MOTA brings together their faithful to help trim the current harvest, learn about the inner workings of the cultivating process, sample the product, and enjoy a quadraphonic sound performance.The mix brings the bustling chatter of those gathered at the event into and out of the listener’s consciousness - a document of an organic, multi-sensory experience - giving it a textural depth that moves beyond a typical live recording.
For this harvest Arthur King is Matthew Mallinger on percussion/pads, KamranV on quad mixing board, and Peter Walker on guitar and drone.
