Archive is musique plastique by Mike Hallenbeck: an exploration of sound as margin and threshold, peripheries and parentheses, as immersion in a mutable space.
The tracks "Archipelago" and "Yes" coalesce around various field recordings (Big Ben, footsteps in a museum gallery, truck motor, crowd at an outdoor festival), both untreated and processed. "Bitrate" is derived entirely from samples by Charlie DeVico (http://devico.us) and Andrew Duke (cognitionaudioworks.com).
