Scald Vermiculatus: A brief summary from the original CD release (2006) >
Vermiculatus is Scald's most experimental, innovative and un-commercial project to date. The work consists of a singular album length instrumental track, the first section of which is performed by the band and is a complex composition of no repeated parts, followed by the closing section, which is an ambient reconstruction of the performance part.
This is accompanied on the CD by a short animated film (Vermiculatus B1) with a further reconstructed soundtrack. This is not a promotional video; instead it is an integral facet to the work and concept as a whole.
The limited edition oversized 6 panel digifolder packaging will be lavish and the artwork will be free from graphics and text.
Scald are not known for being free with explanations behind their concepts, preferring each mind to discover its own truth, but it can be stated that the on - going conceptual, metaphorical representations of the parasitic worm as psychological states has been further evolved from the ‘Nematoid' & ‘Headworm' material. Without the use of words or human voice these emotional and neurological conditions must be conveyed through the visual and aural stimulus of the Vermiculatus whole. It is not necessary to understand only to be aware.
Vermiculatus was also supported by the Arts Council Of Northern Ireland
