Ed Osborn

Mastered by Keith Souza & Seth Manchester at Machines with Magnets, Pawtucket RI. Estuary Ltd. is proud to present Stone North, internationally-renowned sound artist Ed Osborn's first full-length album since 1989. For this album, Osborn - whose work is included in the permanent collection of SFMOMA and has been presented at ZKM (Karlsruhe, DE), Mass MoCA (North Adams, MA), the Sonic Arts Research Centre (Belfast, NI) and the singuhr-hörgalerie (Berlin, DE) - has culled together a collection of recordings made over twenty years of artistic practice. The works presented here include live recordings made using modified electric guitar, bowed 'electric skis' and real-time processing. These recordings feature an idiosyncratic sound palette attained through extended technique and physical feedback with custom instruments, culminating in works that encourage deep and detailed listening. Stone North is the product of careful interaction with chaotic /ystems by a true master of his craft, resulting in a unique collection of recorded works that are both challenging and exhilarating.
