Overboard Medieval is a sound project developed in the Drone Music studio that sets modal, chant-like vocal drones against a ground of electronic noise. The voices are layered in parallel fifths and octaves, recalling early sacred polyphony, while filtered static and distorted oscillators press in from below.
The contrast between ancient-sounding harmony and abrasive texture defines the project. Pieces are dark and dense, moving through slow waves of saturation rather than melodic change. They are best approached at a controlled volume, since the noise layers can become tiring if played too loud for long periods.
