about

These two deep listening soundscapes were created using a tape delay/feedback system invented by an anonymous sound engineer for a live performance by Terry Riley in Paris, 1963.

It works by running a magnetic recording tape between two tape reorders and feeding the signal form the second machine back to the first. Notes and phrases are repeated and recycled along with the new incoming sounds - adding up to a complex, layered, slowly dissolving soundscape. Riley aptly called it a time lag accumulator. It generates an atmospheric, hypnotic effect.

This music is intensely enriched, texturally and harmonically, by inspired performances from Anne Bourne and Wally Jericho.
