The second installment of OCR recordings, which exist as "possible worlds" in timelines adjacent to ours, where their analogs are Occur releases, issued at Recycled Plastics. This volume, known as Doe, is an ambient configuration of the Occur EP Dropper, and is built using only the original session recordings for Dropper.
Unlike M before it, Doe glows with a sunny pastoral shimmer, where perhaps the fallout of future has given way to a blooming, wild paradise of flowers and coppice. Spring eternal bursts forth from the coal-black death of the past, and life is triumphant once again. Majestic blue skies sit watchfully over this garden of re-creation, a once sleeping and pregnant mother heralding warmth and wealth anew. These bounding hills and dales are hers, and those people waking up on the horizon line - those are hers, too.

First album I ever heard by Milieu in 2010 on Pandora. Incredibly memorable dark drone and field recordings. The Coppice Halifax piece is a great addition. TwilightAmbiance
