Rarebit

(Transparency) Used CD $10.00

These sound artists / instrument inventors take cues from Russolo and Partch, amplifying coil springs, eyebolts, various pieces of wood, and other familiar materials using contact microphones. Their streams of sound move fluidly with a communicative style and a dramatic sense of presence and dynamic range: from effervescent burbling, animal-like whines and grunts, to gritty metallic drones that transform into forlorn hissing and ethereal soundscapes. Some passages are nearly silent, breathy, and tranquil.
