 SF-4001: Prisma : Ernesto Rodrigues

-----------------------------------------------

Portugese violinist, composer, and Creative Sources Recordings label 
head Ernesto Rodrigues begins our fourth year with a set of acoustic 
improvised music recorded in Lisbon, Portugal. Recorded by a trio 
consisting of Rodrigues on violin and viola, Michael Thieke on 
clarinet and alto clarinet, and Guilherme Rodrigues on cello and 
pocket trumpet, the three tracks in Prisma move from sparsely 
claustrophobic twittering percussive noises to hi-frequency drones 
and expansive breathing exercises to deceptively simple plucked 
strings and bowed notes. Along the way, the structure of the tracks' 
musical events becomes denser, yet the sounds break free of their 
original condensed field to paint a broad acoustic landscape. A 
challenging, compelling set of music.

SF-1006 : Four Tears : Takuji Tokiwa

-----------------------------------------------

Composed by Japanese sound artist Takuji Tokiwa, Four Tears is "an 
electroacoustic symphonic poem." Its four distinct movements each 
display a slightly different acoustic approach, moving from 
manipulated field recordings to layers of synthesized sound. The four 
movements build slowly and contemplatively, meandering between 
ambient drones and visceral noise.

Originally released 13.05.2002
