Flood reports: "Ecology: HomeStones is the type of project that’s entirely too difficult to summarize—and one which clearly knows that it’s too difficult to summarize, basking in the confusion their industrial brand of ambient noise and visceral, surreal imagery seems to conjure... The tension-building 'Mothername' comes to life with a two-and-a-half minute clip syncing the soundtrack’s glitched-out horrors with scenes of what looks like a 17th century village being infiltrated by an undebatably unwelcome presence..."
First surfacing online in 2020, Ecology: HomeStones is a mysterious audio-visual project, allegedly created by The FPPC, an organization whose sole known member is Philadelphia-based multimedia artist Dylan Pecora.
On the strength of a series of short, mesmerizing video clips, depicting an alternate world of pulsating flesh entities, strange fluids, and shadowy characters, set to a soundtrack of caustic noise, Ecology: HomeStones has amassed hundreds of thousands of followers across social media.
Confounding, grotesque, and hilarious, Ecology: HomeStones' visuals suggests an elaborate order of arcane processes and corporeal obsessions, calling to mind the works of Matthew Barney and David Lynch, among others. (Those familiar with Pecora's work will see the artist’s fingerprints all over this; their credits include helping create props and puppets for Saturday Night Live and Mystery Science Theater 3000, and birthing wonderfully surreal music videos for artists such as Merzbow.)
As evidenced by "Mothername" and the other tracks on the new self-titled album, Ecology: HomeStones' audio carries megatons of ominous weight on its own. The tracks pulse and squelch gloriously – collages of bizarre voices, gentle tones, hypnotic rhythms, soaring melodies, and distorted mayhem, structured for maximum impact. A perplexing work that is also quite enjoyable, Ecology: HomeStones' self-titled album will delight those already in tune with this project, but also stands alone, out of context, as a compelling slab of anthemic, industrial-strength noise.
Based in Brooklyn, Sleeping Giant Glossolalia's formidable catalog of heavy, avant sounds includes releases by Oxbow & Peter Brötzmann, Mick Barr, Ava Mendoza, Arelseum (feat. Colin Marston), Nastie Band (feat. Roddy Bottum), Shit and Shine, Couch Slut, and more.
