Lilac Numbering System – Spire 70

Lilac Numbering System is a solo project of John Wilkins, currently based in Austin, Texas. It endeavors to explore the hypnotic and dreamlike side of guitar drone. The latest recording, Spire 70, is an experiment with lo-fi, improvised loops of heavily distorted guitar recorded in one take and presented digitally as an old lost-and-found vinyl recording, resulting in a ghostly and resonant soundscape that should appeal to admirers of William Basinski, Loren Connors, Leyland Kirby, etc.

John Wilkins is a Texas-based sound artist who has released records under various monikers, including FiRES WERE SHOT, One Far West, Many Pretty Blooms, and his own name, by various labels including Asphodel, Holodeck Records, Whitelabrecs, Puremagnetik, It’s Only Me Records, and more.
