Saluki Regicide is one of the recording projects of C.P. McDill. He also records as Djinnestan (with Aria Nadii), Akashic Crow’s Nest, Tree Helicopter, Rowboat Magicians, and formerly as Rolling Calf Sinfonette.
The recordings of Saluki Regicide are an attempt to create haunted textures by use of electroacoustic recording techniques, layered with vintage samples, often heavily effected, and some bits of electronica.
The roots of Saluki Regicide may date as far back as 1988 when C.P. McDill made some sound art experiments with tape recorders, radios, and assorted improvised instruments. But the first recordings actually bearing the name Saluki Regicide emerged in early 2003. In terms of pinpointing exactly what Saluki Regicide is, or what genre to assign it to, I am at somewhat of a loss. It represents an intersection of traditionalism and the avant-garde, of nostalgia and science fiction, perhaps of music and noise.
Saluki Regicide has at present a total of 7 releases on Webbed Hand Records, three of them conventional albums with approximately a dozen tracks on each, and three are long-form ambient recordings for Webbed Hand Records’ “Rain” series.

I am hearing now Rain Iii and it sounds like the aliens are speaking in the background… probably was the intention of the artist to do so.
