Caul - Apophasis


Genre: dark ambient

"Brett Smith working under the moniker of Caul uses his music as an alternate path to experiencing God. In webzine interviews he makes it no secret that the sounds that he composes as Caul serve as a medium for communicating his experience with God and as a conversation between himself and God [“Last Sigh”(1998) and “Opus” (2005)]. With “Apophasis” Caul gives the listener an almost 45-minute oeuvre into understanding God using what is known in mystic theology as “via negativa” or the “negative way” - expressing/sharing a knowledge of God by pointing the listener in the direction of what God is NOT, rather than what God is. The sounds found within this varied soundscape encompass cavernous drones, bursts of cacophony, and solemn synthesized orchestral melodies that converge into an overall reflective and brooding ambient testimonial of one individual’s pathway to God."
Larry Johnson (c) 2006
Apophasis is "negative theology"- a view of God determined by defining what
God is not.
Recorded June-July 2006 at Epiphany Studios, Baldwin City KS.
