about

Forest of Threads expands The Amplified Elephants’ exploration of nature through the lens of electronic music making.

The five tracks of the album outline a mythical tale of transformation of an owl person as they inhabit and travel through four types of forest. The owl person’s experiences are not spelled out by The Elephants. Rather it is up to the listener to build the story in their mind. Each listener will create their own story – varied but somehow linked to the stories of all other listeners.

In sharing the sometimes delicate, sometimes brutal, beauty and mythological dynamism of nature with their fellow listeners, The Amplified Elephants hope that listeners might feel a greater union with nature, and therefore heed a greater calling to preserve and protect the natural world.
