'Drone Prompts' is an abstract/ambient EP series created by vintage credenza (John Russell).

In this unique project, a simple drone/soundscape - created by Russell - is shared with a talented Meanjin friend, who then transforms the initial sonic prompt into a distinctive new piece.

Some choose to build upon the track by adding layers, textures and/or instruments, others chop and rework it and others transform the source prompt into something so far removed from its beginnings that it's completely unrecognisable.

The artists are given no briefing or direction.
Each artist receives a unique drone prompt designed specifically for them.

The possibilities are endless.
The creations are remarkable.


This second installation of the series features incredible and eclectic contributions from Ghostwoods, ff8282, Chris Perren, and Timothy Fairless.

a thin membrane between her hands

Throughout their artistic career, ff8282’s output has shifted across various genres, though always returning to the home they created within ambient music.

'a thin membrane between her hands' stands as a precise and distinguished culmination of this artistic journey. Written and recorded largely across the span of 12 months, ATMBHH developed across various releases and locations. Sessions of frustration often resulted in additions to heavily distorted and mangled pieces like ‘resolut’ and but to the censored, an emerging method of creation for April, as previously the central need of the project was served before inclusions of the creators emotional state.

Across the album there is a strong sentiment of apathy and loss, exposing sensitive suggestions to the internal world of ff8282.

The music for each piece began as vague sketches that were elaborated and bought out through placing new instruments beside them. Some tracks continue April’s inclusion of string arrangements, while others feature found sounds and musical elements created through granular synthesis and other convoluted methods.

Recording was completed in isolation: the first person to hear the demos that would evolve to ATMBHH was John from 4000 Records. The inclusion of another person during the creative process was a first for ff8282, though this new step for the artist was one that was welcomed greatly as both parties shared a mutual love for championing all sides of the musical realm.
