For almost 15 years the members of Nova Scotia have been creating music that attempts to be both challenging and majestic, taking part in a groundswell of abstract music in New Zealand including the likes of Peter Wright, Antony Milton and Sandoz Lab Technicians, and releasing their music on notable labels such as PseudoArcana, Metonymic, and Ikiusuus. Their music is not improvised music of reckless abandon, but carefully crafted abstract soundscapes of the most deliberate nature. Crystal glasses sing, distant pipes whistle, and beautiful acoustic guitar figures hang in the air. A piano interrupts the band's attempt to drill to the centre of the earth. Or as Bruce Russell of the Dead C was moved to quote, "There are new things in heaven and earth, Horatio". For fans of AMM, No Neck Blues Band, Sun City Girls, Alastair Galbraith, and Vibracathedral Orchestra. This is going to be your one chance to see them, and you're going to want to tell your grandkids about this one.

Some of Nova Scotia's stuff I think is incredible.
