Music in Black and White
New mp3 release from Archive
Available for a limited time only
at http://www.darkwinter.com

"Synesthesia" is the experience of a stimulus by a different sense than
that for which it was intended-- hearing colors, for example.

Whether or not he's a full-fledged synesthetic, sound artist Mike
Hallenbeck tends to "see" sounds-- as a space of constantly evolving form,
dimension, hue, value, highlight, and shadow. Hallenbeck's "musique
plastique" project Archive explores sound as an experience of margin and
threshold, of the microscopic and the parenthetical, as a mutable
component of a listening space.

A group of Archive pieces deemed "greyscale" by Hallenbeck have been
collected for "Music in Black and White", a new mp3 release from Dark
Winter.

The material ranges from long-form "demixes" of tracks by Fadladder and
Datura 1.0 ("In De Stijl of the Night", "That Will Be All") to pieces
derived entirely from a binaural recording of a bike shop ("Trappr Keepr")
and from the sound of Hallenbeck clucking his tongue ("Spork"). From stark
and prickly to gauzy and ephemeral, the pieces blend with the incidental
sounds of one's environment to provide a unique listening experience with
each playback.

Try it on your headphones at a Man Ray photo exhibit, or as a soundtrack
for "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari". Enjoy!

Mike Hallenbeck
