about

"Vaalbara was an Archean supercontinent consisting of the Kaapvaal Craton (now in eastern South Africa) and the Pilbara Craton (now in north-western Western Australia). E. S. Cheney derived the name from the last four letters of each craton's name. The two cratons consist of crust dating from 2.7 to 3.6 Gya, which would make Vaalbara one of Earth's earliest supercontinents."

This music has been sequenced as if it was released on a vinyl LP. If you have the ability to listen to it as imaginary vinyl, then please do so (Ossicones is Side A, Zarafah/Ossidrones is Side B). Each of these pieces was recorded live in one take at home, with the only editing to reduce the durations. Equipment used: Roland System-1 synthesiser; Electro-Harmonix Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai Delay Pedal; Allen & Heath mixer; Zoom H2 recorder; Audacity.
