The original "Constant" was created by mystified for Webbed Hand Records ( www.webbedhandrecords.com ). It was a longform track that was in essence one extended drone sound, though full of interesting artifacts and harmonics. This piece was re-created in different ways by several artists of the TZP Drone Company NetLabel. They took up the idea of creating a more or less constant sound that could be listened to for extended periods of time.
Now Tribe Of Astronauts have taken up the challenge, and have created the 8th "Constant". Though shorter than some, this piece is still 30 minutes long and has 3 main parts.
Tribe of Astronauts is a loose recording collective consisting of some artists affiliated with Webbed Hand Records, Treetrunk Records, and other netlabels. It is an "anonymized" project, an opportunity for the artists to create work not in the style of their main projects.
Any netlabel artist may release work as Tribe of Astronauts on any netlabel, under the condition that they release the work under Creative Commons or Public Domain, and claim no ownership of or exclusive rights to the name "Tribe of Astronauts."
