Under Certain Light and Atmospheric Conditions is built upon two years of live shows, soundcheck improvisations, and field recordings. It is a 38-minute dreamspace of jet lag, melatonin supplements, roaring crowds, and failing technology. Frost was joined by Greg Kubacki of Car Bomb, an original contributor on Scope Neglect (2024, Mute), and audiovisual composer Tarik Barri. They were also accompanied by sound designer Carlos Boix, whose recordings of the past year of live performances has seamlessly been woven into the album by Frost. Three of the tracks—‘Tritium Bath,’ ‘Chimera,’ and ‘Turning The Prism’—come directly from Frost's Scope Neglect, while the remaining cuts—‘Permcat,’ ‘Trancelines,’ ‘Black Thread,’ and ‘Prism Inversion’ (with their roots in Ukraine, India, Mongolia, and Brazil)—are previously unreleased.

Some of the earliest work we've ever seen from Steven Halpern, and some of the best – a mid 70s set that predates some of his better-known new age records of later years – and which has a sound that's maybe a bit more compressed and focused overall! Steven's still playing plenty of Fender Rhodes throughout – using the keys in those enigmatic ways that always make his records so great – mixed with light touches on bass, trumpet, electric flute, and guitar – but only at a few points, so that most of the record is just Halpern opening up with these beautiful lines on the Rhodes! Side one features the long "Sound Spectrum Suite" – and side two features "Be Muse Ment", "Trans Pan Dance", and "Subtle Body Suite" – the last of which is actually a funky Rhodes tune! © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
