Ambarchi, Fennesz, Pimmon, Rehberg, Rowe – Afternoon Tea [Ritornell]

fox   2/14/2014   A Library, CD

High tea of grasshopper infusion and Nana’s scones topped with metal shavings, served in the midst of a deep-space electric storm.

This is electro-acoustic improvisation – prepared, treated guitars alongside computers. Warm, deep rumbling throughout. Very gradual crescendo and sonic evolution on both tracks bring us in from the edge of audibility at the limit of the known universe. Higher frequency electronic bips and boops for contrast. First-rate layering material.
