about

::: artist notes :::

his piece was completed in early 2000 using field recordings taken throughout the previous year, including london’s millennium new year’s eve celebrations. its composition came about with the desire to do all of the things that i hadn’t previously allowed myself to do: allow sounds to be recognizable and retain their context, use musical instruments, allow a greater harshness; i wanted to break the guidelines i’d set for myself in recording earlier pieces. the decontextualization of sound especially had been very important to me, in order to allow a truly unbiased hearing, but here i found myself with source recordings that wouldn’t hide their origins: fireworks, water, insects, bells; their voices dictated the structure of this composition.

::: liner notes :::

• part 1:1 ::: beer cooler
• part 1:2 ::: new year’s eve celebration, 2000
• part 1:3 ::: escalator at pimlico tube station, tin whistle, sugar bowl, power lines, airplane (from within)
• part 2:1 ::: skipping hardcore cd, wasp
• part 2:2 ::: a walk in chaillac, france, and it’s insects
• part 2:3 ::: stream and church bells in zennor, cornwall

composed, with source taken throughout 1999, in january 2000

Simply his best solo effort, so far, IMHO.The bonus 6th track, not shown in the play list, is a cover I never expected anyone to take on, but DC did and it's a brilliant interpretation. Well done! sundog_dd
