Djinnestan is a sound art project formed in 2003 as a spin-off of Saluki Regicide, with a focus on tranquil and ethereal ambient textures.
Thus far the discography of Djinnestan amounts to eight releases, five of which are long-form (CD-length) ambient albums, intended for play at low volumes, particularly as one goes to sleep. All of the albums are available free for download from Webbed Hand Records
Most of the output of Djinnestan thus far has been of an electroacoustic/electronic variety. The long-form works have ranged from the extremely minimal ( Purr ) to the atmospherically layered and textural ( Rain 1 ). The short-form collections have typically been impressionistic daubs of sound, finely balancing repetition with variation. For the future, plans are underway for new work that will incorporate voices and acoustic instruments, adding new flavors and giving the work more of a real-world, earthy grounding.
The lineup for Djinnestan at present is C.P. McDill and Aria Nadii . They are the core of the group, although at any time there may be other contributors.
