After a hectic summer, it felt really great to work on a new piece with Una. Our track is called So Long July
and it can be downloaded for free along with many other incredible sounds in the most recent Classwar Karaoke survey 0023.

A few words on Changeable Weather and links-
“Sonic richness to be discovered, it definitely will be a treat for your sore soul on a hot summer day. ” From my wonderful collaborator and Sound Artist Una Lee-her link is here
“Sounds like sitting and listening in the garden, where there is a road before and birds tell their story!” from the always reliable Kulturterrorismus-German music blog- link is here
and on the Sadayatana radio program-here is the link-
You can download or listen to the disc here
Thanks to all!
Below is Shoreline around dusk a track from the disc-
Una Lee has had a very busy summer! Besides being part of Lynlee with me, she has managed to put out two superb new releases. Both discs offer many aural rewards after a few listens. Mindwandering is released on the withering-trees label and features Hyo Jung Kim on Violin and voice. Here is what they say :
“The term ‘ Stream of consciousness’ or ‘Train of thoughts’ would be the best way to describe the idea, by which this piece ‘Mindwandering’ was made. It’s a rather longer sound collage of over 30 different found sound tracks and some field recordings of improvised music, which were used and manipulated to accompany the infinitely wandering mind.”
There are some wonderful passages here that masterfully blend sound art, improv, and field recordings into one organic whole. The link is here to listen and download. Check out some other works as well by the label, which looks to be quite promising.
Una’s other release is called Static Flux , here raindrops are recorded in different positions and situations to create a trancelike meditation on the percussive sounds of rain.
For the last week or so, this has been my main listen . It’s Fantastic!
