The Puretone Orchestra is an experimental ensemble put together by Youth. The music is a kaleidoscope of colliding space and cosmic philosophies. Mind altering, genre bending, musical fusion and juxtaposition. Blatant appropriation, from the sacred to the profane, harmonising opposites and smashing perceptions. Drones, Noise, and Trance immersion with long string drones, healing tones 122khz, Gongs, and Crystal bowls. Analogue electronics with a psych, free jazz, post punk, tone orchestra experience. Assembled and orchestrated by Youth. Prepare for a cosmic meltdown and a blast off too inner/outer space.

For me, it reminded me of trips that I'd had, where sounds were weirdly distorted, like this track
As always, fellow space monkeys, put on your headphones, and wiggle them into position, so you can easily discern the left/right separation. Love. brian0scattergood0
