amnemonic site

Alluvial Recordings · 2007 CD · 46 minutes · Composed 2004–06

Percussive bursts, linked events, micro-envelopes, spatial dissonance, crowd noises. Amnemonic Site — a place of forgetting, a temporary zone of amusia: the loss of ability to understand music. Sources include wood, fabric, tuning forks, fireworks, beans in various containers, Balinese gamelan, oscillator, blown organ pipes, brass organ reeds, Serge modular synth, metal pieces — alongside recordings of parks and New Year's celebrations in Chinatown, Manhattan.

"The layers of texture lap after one another... gradually splaying out into a play of high, reedy drones... a moving, bracing 'novella', building in waves toward some perceptible, if indescribable, whole." — Brian Olewnick, Bagatellen

"Full of tension, a strong interplay between all sound sources... easily the best release I heard from him to date." — Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly, March 2007
