‘recurring incursions’ was composed in the last days of 2010 using recordings made during the previous year. No synthesis was used in the process. All sounds were analog and acoustic in origin. Some sources come from collaborative recordings. Thanks to Evelyn Müürsepp for playing tonal wood blocks in the forest and to the participants of my sound workshop in Istanbul.

time’s arrow landing is something of a “lost” solo project I recently dug out from my archives. Prepared originally for release on a CD label in Europe, it was completed and mastered in early 1998, before being dropped by the label. The full album is being presented here as it has rested since that time. Nothing has been changed except for some minor level adjustments and the omission of one digital error that occurred on the DAT master.

Each track is an investigation into the juxtaposition of dense acoustic noise fields and clusters of electronic pulses and tones. The electronic sounds were produced by an old military sine wave generator and were layered and processed with numerous effects pedals and signal processors. The field recordings were made at various locations around Austin, TX and were mostly left unprocessed. The equipment used was mostly rented or borrowed from friends, particularly Michael Northam.
