about

"'Thai Occult Road Trip' ranges from water to fire and is an intriguing and life-affirming journey. From the wash of drenched rainfall slow arching synths continually emerge and disappear, eventually slipping into deep swirling shifts and shudders, mixed with a miasma of turbulent processed electronic effects. A driving hi-hat based rhythm leads a merry dance of invigorating electronic beats. Sound treatments manipulate Thai voices, the whole thing jabbering and hammering in the form of ecstatic ritualisations. The flurry of rhythms surge onwards bending and folding in on itself returning refreshed and revitalised layering yet more beats amidst excited cries and wails. The powerful rhythms, at this point, almost echoing the shamanistic work of Mother Destruction...'Thai Occult Road Trip' is a sonic postcard from the edge tracing the pathway of the latest instalment of Sheer Zed's on-going transformation." - ComplusionOnline (www.compulsiononline.com/sheerzed_thaioccultroadtrip.htm)

Thai Occult Road Trip is a panoramic audio celebration of my fascination and admiration of the magickal occult system of Thai Lanna Buddhism. This travelogue of electronic and organic sounds expresses and crystallizes incidents and remembrances leading up to and surrounding my 2018 pilgrimage to Northern Thailand.

While meditative and circumspect this album of four deep tracks is a highly danceable chimeric experience of experimental electronic music. The download includes a six page PDF that explores the inspirations behind each track. The album was originally released onto streaming platforms in February 2018.
