flyover sound
I’m happy to announce that Flyover Sound, a collaboration between myself and offthesky is now available from Experimedia.
Fluid Radio named Flyover Sound ALBUM OF THE WEEK. hey!
Flyover Sound is the collaborative effort of Billy Gomberg and offthesky. The pair bring together their individually unique sounds to create a rich and beautiful album. Complex drone and glitch arrangements play alongside acoustic guitar and subtle field recordings.
Flyover Sound is packaged in Experimedia’s signature custom designed six panel tall-slim pack is limited to 250 copies, and features artwork/photography by Jason Corder (offthesky).
This release was a pleasure to create w/Jason, to hear our work change and refract as these pieces developed. I find these pieces to be translucent, projecting sound with an incredible ease through their duration that belies a certain complexity at work in our individual practices. Please enjoy thoroughly.
thanks to Anne for the handwriting, and to Jeremy Bible.
Delicate Sen
I’m happy to officially promote the Delicate Sen CD-R on Copy For Your Records. We were selling this disc on tour and I’m just catching up with lots of things like this. A great, restrained and sensitive improvisation by our trio, recorded in Brooklyn back in March.
Brian Olewnick just posted a review:
This is just a really good, varied and strong live set by the trio of Billy Gomberg (synthesizer), Anne Guthrie (french horn) and Richard Kamerman (motors, objects), recorded in March of this year. I think they have a leg up with the delicious instrumental blend here: Kamerman tends toward the harsh and metallic while Gomberg has a refreshing tendency, when I’ve heard him, to linger in tonal byways. Add to this the all too rare, in this music, timbre of the french horn, beautifully deployed here by Guthrie, and you have a delicious prospect from the get-go. And then they construct this utterly captivating performance that wends its way through numerous neighborhoods, each of interest, almost never flagging over its 40 minutes. There’s a point about halfway through where Gomberg adopts an almost church-organ kind of sound opposite Kamerman’s jangling metal that’s fantastic and when Guthrie plants long, burred tones in the midst, transcendent. Fine work.
