about
Traversing the territory where contemporary classical meets industrial noise (as well as marking his debut release as a composer), Braden Diotte’s General Manifest combines harmonica, percussion and field-recordings captured aboard moving freight trains to reconstruct sonic mémoires from his two decades as a modern hobo.
“The inspiration behind General Manifest came two-fold. Aesthetically, I wanted to create a piece to pay tribute to the fleeting music that I’ve witnessed emanating from the underbelly of thousands of tons of rolling stock over a twenty-year span in which I was riding freight trains throughout the American west. At the same time, I also wanted to create a piece based upon the broader notion of birthright freedoms. Where these concepts intersect, a philosophy exists that’s as personal as it is political, as anarchistic as it is patriotic, and as natural as it is spiritual."
– Braden Diotte

Minds me of the ancient knowledge of The Destroyer passes by every 12,068 years, a passing planet or a nova explodes, magnetic reversal, tilting the Earth enough the shake off most of it's inhabitants, just a few hardy people to start anew, renew the Earth, let civilization crumble (like many have gone), a new magnetic tilt, to watch Antarctica emerge as dry land, let America be frozen under a mile of ice for an ice age.
