Albert Ortega-Bent Parallax.
The first two songs off this album are from "Scrap Vessel" , a film by Jason Byrne that documents the death of a cargo ship, following its final treck. Its no wonder why these songs come to me in a form of isolation, vibrations from a vessels last sail at sea.Tonal meditations that go hand in hand with found footage and wide angle shots. Soundscapes of delayed fingers anxiously tapping at soft metal, or a phantoms prayer bowl echoing through a revolving door. Either way it is sound to close your eyes to and let the shadows navigate.
Raven Chacon-Music for Flute, Guitar & Amp; Outdoor Sine Wave
There are certain sounds that can take you back to a specific moment in time. The images are slightly hazy, but for a moment you are there. This sound is not one of those. As you listen to this recording it makes your mind move forward, not back. A wave that is gliding over a New Mexican vastness,not bothering to stop and mingle with the vultures. Take note of this electric/landscape/minimalist painting, you might not hear flute or guitar. I didn't, but then again I listened to it while driving through the desert. Funny things happen out there.Recorded somewhere in New Mexico, 2009.
