Re/cycling Rectangle
Two short sides of sound collage from Tokyo's masterful sample artist Otomo Yoshihide. These pieces are made up of short sound samples of almost any instrument imaginable: saxophone blasts, cello strokes, short metallic chord bursts, single plucks of the guitar as well as the noises made by hand movements all set to a metronomic sampled drumbeat. Quite interesting, but not a fully realized work. If Otomo chooses to continue this process, it could potentially have wonderful results.

Thirty Minute Raven
An uninterupted half hour of statement, restatement, and versioning of this track from A Spectrum Between that takes as its point of departure a thumping instrumental with the dream group of David Grubbs, Noël Akchotè, John McEntire, Quentin Rollet, & Charlie O.
