Fluid Array
Sun Araw & Mitchell Brown
https://longformeditions.bandcamp.com/track/fluid-array
In 2015 for the album Gazebo Effect, Mitchell Brown and I conceived a "music system" which would allow me to improvise with several instruments while running through a 1/4" reel-to-reel tape machine that Mitchell was controlling and manipulating in realtime. The system we developed gives him the ability to dub pieces of my playing onto a repeating tape loop, sometimes allowing me to hear my playing before it's recorded, other times not. Sort of like playing an instrument into a wood-chipper. The general principle has held strong for years in our collaboration, although the equipment has been continually modified and optimised. The joy in this sort of setup is simple: mediated desire. The player makes a move, but what returns to the ears as audio is not quite the move that was made, it has been modified by the tape system. | | 6 |  | Aki Onda

Nineteen American Waysides
good field recordings (4)
Doug Haire is a Seattle-based recording engineer and sound artist, "Nineteen American Waysides features 19 recordings from highway rest-areas made all across the US, including insect choruses, garbage truck hydraulics, twittering birds, gentle rain storms, and lots of rushing din from the nearby freeways, occasionally Haire played back processed versions of the Victrola Favorites cassettes curated from the Climax Golden Twins' collection...these murky waltzes, operatic arias, and spoken word snippets...are wonderful and wistful sounds, that contrast nicely with the clarity of the rest of Haire's recordings" | |
