Rainforest Spiritual Enslavement distorts nature sounds inspired by the landscape of Papua New Guinea into the dark and ritualistic realms of ambient music. Part magic and part mysticism, RSE is the brainchild of Dominick Fernow, a multi-media artist working under a variety of other monikers since 1997. RSE debuted in 2011 with a series of cassettes released by Fernow’s label Hospital Productions. They were remastered in 2017 as the cassette box Water Witches. In 2017, he released the album Ambient Black Magic, which featured Silent Servant and Substance. Melding together the natural and the artificial, RSE creates the soundscape of an imaginary world that’s both foreboding and intriguing.
