About the Artist
Caul began in 1993, while I was playing guitar in John Bergin's band Trust Obey.

I worked on material for about a year and in 1994 I released the cassette "Epiphany/Fortunate" on my own label Epiphany Recordings. I followed with two more releases, "Whole" and "The Golden Section."

1996 saw both my first and second CD releases "Crucible,", courtesy of Malignant Records and "The Sound of Faith," courtesy of Katyn Records.

In 1997, Eibon released my third CD, "Reliquary," and then in 1998 I returned home to Malignant Records for "Light From Many Lamps."

There was a hiatus of about 3 years before the next Caul work, "Hidden," was released by Eibon Records in 2001. The first installment in a 3 part work, the next installment, "Muein," was released by John Bergin's Grinder label in 2002.

In 2002 I resumed operations of my own label, Epiphany Recordings and in 2003 I released SWAN, a collection of compilation and unreleased recordings, followed by Eibon Records release of "A Golden Epiphany," a remixed/remastered set of my very first Caul tapes.

Album Description
"Slowly evolving soundscapes full of suspenseful tones, cinematic textures, and bleak ambience. elements of melancholic beauty arise and are quickly swallowed by uprisings of darkness. silent slow-motion melodies play with equanimity, blending into slowly revolving sound vortices - balancing perfectly between the rational and the irrational.

quite possibly the most somber work caul has ever wrought. a beautiful, stunning album."

Dark whispery ambient!.......2003-05-02

This is mood music. I got this as a gift and I am on first listen. I am impressed with it generally. Muein is one 60 minute piece. It has an avaunt gaurd flare simular to Controlled Bleeding or Autechre, but much darker. The focus on the first part of the peice is a very dark mummified astral plane or negative light projection, for lack of a better analogy. I would draw reference to Robert Rich, though on my first listen, Robert is better... but this may become more appealing over time. I get images of dampness and deep "in-the-middle-of-night" spaces. The feeling is simular to going to a murder mystery movie and the type of tension one gets when watching a GOOD scary movie. However, this music does not "peak" like a good thriller. I am also reminded on Main's HZ record, though there is more blantent sound on this recording. This is probably mostly electronic instrumentation with varied sound effects. This categorically fits the dark ambient mode overall. It is not something I will listen to everyday but a CD I will remember and not neglect when the mood is right. This CD is well thought out musically, but poorly marketed. I have never heard of it and it was released in 2002. Not for mainstream listeners. Good spin!
