kind noise, patient noise

If we make any types of noises we want, (I mean kind noise, patient noise, etc), we improvise using such noise(s) each other, not using any scale.

I am in the whole world at home now. I love this feeling.

Since some time, I globalize me.
Why just living in one country,
why just sleeping in one country,
why just being buried only in one country...

onion skins of tenderness

Alastair Galbraith Cluster 7inch (Stalemate, Raining here/Pip Proud, Water in my ears) Raffmond, Germany, 1994Water in my ears

There could be no better format for these 4 songs which, once the needle touches the record, end almost before you can step away from the turntable. Just crouch nearby and close your eyes. This record also introduced me to Pip Proud. Thank you and thank you, Mr. Galbraith. (If any of the involved parties would like for me to remove the audio, please let me know.)

New full length on Siltbreeze. featuring this song! Water in My Ears and Raining Here later appeared on the full length Talisman (now reissued)

Son of Man

Of all the Maher Shalal Hash Baz related projects I've heard, this CD is still my favourite. Quiet, rickety, and beautiful. (If any of the involved parties would like me to remove the audio, please let me know.)

Error in performance dominates MSHB cassette,which is like our imperfect life. If perfect music is only heard through imperfection, at this state of things, MSHB, the king of error, could barely be heard. -Tori Kudo from the liner notes of From A Summer to Another Summer by Maher Shalal Hash Baz, Geographic, 2000
