The WEATHER WARLOCK is a musical instrument built by New Orleans artist and musician Quintron. The instrument is a large analog synthesizer which is controlled, via a set of outdoor sensors, by the changes in weather. The circuitry employs sun, rain, wind, temperature, moon, and lightning to affect a major-chordal drone with special sonic events occurring at sunrise and sunset. Please check out www.weatherfortheblind.org for a full explanation and 24/7 live stream of the instrument.
The base recordings for Headless Falcon, the second WEATHER WARLOCK album, were made in Abu Dhabi during a live performance on Saadiyat Island. Quintron and New Orleans drummer Aaron Hill (EyeHateGod) traveled to the United Arab Emirates to collaborate with a handful of local musicians for one week, composing and rehearsing the material prior to the performance. The album relies heavily on Egyptian master musician, Sherine Thomay’s electric Oud playing. Side A ventures into new territory for WEATHER WARLOCK with a sixteen-minute hypnotic techno-Mellotron jam with oud, hand drums, and cinematic desert noise phasing in and out. Side B is a slow burn prog-rock ripper in nine which, in addition to the Middle Eastern guest musicians, features a New Orleans horn section, snotty Gary Wrong vocals (another WEATHER WARLOCK first), bass rumble from Jen Attaway (Split Lips, Unnaturals), and a pure garbage guitar solo by Pete Larson (BULB records, Couch, etc,), who flew to the UAE from Kenya for the jams.
