Reviewer:robstrati - - July 24, 2007 Subject: wind Hymns 1 and 3 resonate with me in relation to wind and natural transitions and I think what you are exploring and the levels of subtly and restraint you are engaging are very powerful.
To me, those pieces tap into the seemingly separate, yet intricately intertwined fields of nature and intelligence. The pieces move beyond the appearance of distinction and access a sort of form of unified frequency, which I believe to be the nature of intelligence / natural intelligence / intelligence of nature - unified and interchangeable.
Hymns 1 and 3 achieved that for me because the transitions moved delicately into one another and any layering was minimal and briefly hinted at. The shifts that were made were contained in a specific sense of time and distance, which felt natural to me - this is what felt like wind. There are shifts, but they are within a certain field and they sort of move back and forth between a central balance...swaying.
Hymn 2 gave me more of a sense of landscape or something constructed because the layers were more complex and the transitions were more multifaceted - many layers shifting at once - it felt almost like architecture - like exploring a building with many rooms.
I personally like Hymn 1 because I could live in the fields of sound for longer periods of time and in that had time to understand the nuances and complexity of the single sound.... then the shifts were gentle and a new field of sound opened up, again for a period of time to relax into it and understand more of it...and then back.
You have something great going on. Thank you for sharing it with me and asking my opinion. I will be listening:)
Reviewer:PhillipWilkerson - - July 21, 2007 Subject: Exploration of Austere, Abstract Ambience In these three pieces, I wanted to explore the more austere side of ambience and see where my creative desire inspiration might take me. Each of these three pieces were recorded the same evening and all three are improvisations, recorded in one take. If you like austere, abstract and minimalist ambience, you might enjoy these, especially at low-volume. --PCW
