** Limited edition of 70 copies with small insert with a photo of Charles Plymell in close coorperation with Cherry Valley Editions * An intimate reading by one of the last original Beats. Recorded at his Cherry Hill farm.
Channeling a visionary approach to the specter of humanity through a singular sense of sonic artistry, Carlos Casas’ "Siberian Field Recordings" - issued as a beautiful cassette by Second Sleep - draws on the material of field recordings and captured short-wave / radio frequencies to blur the lines between ethnography and experimental sound, rending surprisingly imagistic, abstract narratives of elastic meaning over its hour-long length.
* Original 1977 copies. Comes with a 8 page booklet * voices, small bells, big cymbals, sarangi and drums, street musicians, buskers -- this puzzling collage of a journey made in 1976 on the roads of North India by Aktuala's sitar player Fabrizio Cassano is hypnotizing. It opens the way to the state of trance.
From the hands of the Swiss visual artist Veronika Spierenburg, comes "Mass Files", a truly stunning 5 LP box set of field recordings made in various corners of the globe during the last year, capturing the changing sonic landscapes in which we have lived. Political, prescient, and filled with hope and imagination, it's one of the most exciting offerings we've seen emerge from the complexities and challenges of this time, and about as historically important as releases come.
