As I was creating these songs, I was repeatedly struck by how much sound fills our society and how much noise pervades our lives. So much sound already exists: in the winds of nature, the pulse of humanity, and the breath of machines. Everything is already here.
I do not make the decision of how to fill this space: it is not mine to occupy and satiate. It is not what I add to it and put in, but what I strip away, what I subtract. And what few things remain to be heard. This is what I leave for your ears.
I have uploaded "diametric" from the fabulous online-release "DataTransfer2", which I have created for David Velez with several of his sounds and some of my field-recordings of a journey to the "Documenta Kassel" and some german museums.
enjoy, and please listen to all the other fanatastic contributions of "DataTransfer2"
cheers
