Samarkandko

Description: Recording of Peter Tod Lewis's Samarkandko. This piece is a linear construction on five highly contrasted sources. The affective associations of the materials may suggest a dramatic scenario which, though ambiguous, contradictory, subjective, guided the order on event presentations and their manner of juxtaposition. One evolved theory of the work had precisely to do with the use of extreme, and perhaps at first seemingly unrelated, contrast that such materials can, with care and sensitivity, wo… more

From beneath the layer of misty clouds is revealed a beautiful land of sweetnes… more

Treesway Solo

Description: Recording of Lief Brush's Treesway Solo. The only coloration that was employed in early sound handling was through equalization, balancing and combining mix-downs.

Treesway Solo

Description: Recording of Leif Brush's Treesway Solo. “After an intense period of analog familiarization with the range and enormity of available sounds extraterrestrial and in nature, I tried the only techniques then available to me, tape manipulation and speaker placements.

I have always monitored from nearly neutral sensors, and my interest has been in trading, configuring and juxtapo… more
