Please listen & enjoy….

This mix traces a range of the contemporary forms of music which interest and inspire me. I am looking to weave between styles and genres (a gap that sometimes is awfully narrow), following a thread of acoustic sensibility that shifts from piece to piece, whether or not there is great difference or similarity from moment to moment depends on perspective. This is a collection of tactile music, rendered by hand, tape, machines real and virtual, forced into motion by these musicians.

The image is from mpld’s performance w/Bryan Eubanks, excepted on this mix.
