'New Music For The Harp Of Avalon' sees Gnostic sound traveller Fane's further shift (measurable on the scale of the movements of the Earth) from electronic to acoustic sounds. The humble acoustic guitar, he believes, can be an instrument of immense sonic power under the right circumstances. He also realised he was completely bored with latter-day Western approaches to being in tune.
Tuning his 12-string guitar to DADGAD, he then tuned to just intonation (a method of Golden Ratios between notes rather than the 12-tone equal temperament our ears are so used to) and to 432Hz. Much has been made about this supposed magickal frequency, some of which possibly manifested during the recording of this album. The resulting Harp Of Avalon sounds both out of tune and somehow completely correct.
Musically Fane continues his journeys through the Sussex Downs and Beyond.

Some notes - a 'land zither' is a rather esoteric musical instrument which employs a hole in the ground as the resonator. It seemed apt here. 'Noviomagus' was the Roman name for the city now known as Chichester, the 'road to' it being Stane Street, a Roman road which carves a straight line across the South Downs then onward, largely still in use, to London. 'Blessed Tones Of Chaos Magick' was an experiment in letting nature take hold, a patch on the Arturia Buchla Music Easel plugin governed by chance and randomness, with the odd bit of encouragement and guidance from Fane himself. What you are hearing is the song of natural disorder and entropy.
