Daniel Menche and Kiyoshi Mizutani “Garden” [Ground Fault Recordings]

Krzton Drda   1/17/2006   A Library

Music concrete sunny side up takes you to visit a garden in the summer time. Insects, birds, wind, are all extensively layered to make this work. One track goes all the way through. Around seven minutes in there is a gong noise and within a few minutes of the end a helecopter can be heard thumping far away. Daniel Menche is credited with low sounds and Kiyoshi Mizutani with the high sounds. This was recorded in Japan in 1996, mixed in 2002 and released in 2003. Joyful yet restive.
