about

The fourth installment of collaborative works between two of our most prolific and creative artists – Dean Richards (aka Disturbed Earth) and Steve Brand. On “The First Day Unnamed”, Dean and Steve have created a brooding and many-layered longform masterpiece. Steve had this to say about the release.

“This album literally grew out of the parts and pieces of my trilogy collaboration with Dean/Disturbed Earth that came out in late 2008 and early 2009. That said, this is not a continuation or regurgitation of those works. In the previous trilogy, Dean took my sounds and twisted, bent and re-sculpted them with his own sensibilities and processes, adding his own sounds into the mix. With “First Day…,” I have re-cycled and re-processed some pieces that Dean created that didn’t make it into the original series, ran them through my own processes and internal filters, adding my own sounds (once again) along the way.

The title was inspired by the idea that we strive to encage and cordon off the world by being able to label and define nearly everything without and within us. In doing so, we create the “known,” when in reality, much remains unknown, because in truth, we have only investigated that which is most comfortable to us. This disk is characterized by deep terrestrial drones and textures, hints of melody, churning subterranean machinery, the occasional calls of weird animals, distant flute, gongs, and voices.”

Our True Nature (2016 Re-issue)
by Steve Brand

supported by 8 fans who also own “The First Day Unnamed”

Although I always seem to recognize elements that definitely make 'Steve's sound', owning so much Steve Brand-albums helps by the way.., yet, every album has its unique mood, feel, groove, spirit, whatever you want to call it.. To me, Our True Nature provides rest, comfort, and really cleanses the mind and soul... for sure it's an album where Steve takes us back to ourselves, to be still, meditate and be free.. can't miss this one in the Steve Brand-collection Berkdrums

I have such fond memories of my first dog, Jeff, napping on my chest while we listened to this song after a long day. While it isn't the name of the song, this reminds me of my sweet, quiet friend. mistahben

This album will grow on you. Listen in headphones or earbuds. It will blow your mind. Steve has so many amazing textures and dimensions on this release. It's hard to pick a favorite track. Probably in his top 5, if there is such a thing. 53Guitarman
