The improvisational drones of Pelt thrive on the tension between prolonged silences and flurries of noise. DAUPHIN ELEGIES is made up of three increasingly long pieces plus one three-minute song, each one different in tone and texture from the last. The building hums of "Waning Crescent," the distant squealing orchestral strings of "Fire Signs on the Edge of a Field," and the lonesome folk violin of "Cast Out of Deep Waters" give way to the climactic cosmic chimes of the finale, "Crown of Comets." It's a journey from earth to heaven told in snatches of organized noise.
