Today's sonic adventure features lots of long tracks, in long sets. And some new-ish (to me at least) finds. Plus a VERY over-due full play of 'In C, Mali'. VERY COOL!
Today's adventure features a very over-due full re-play of Terry Riley's masterpiece. In the form of 'In C, Mali'. Some new (to me) finds. Mostly lots of juicy looong sets, and looooong tracks. From east to west and pole to pole. Sonic wall-banging. How we like it!
PLEASE DO hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (it is right over there ==>). We'd love to hear from you!!

| A full play of Terry Riley's "In C", Mali style. Put down whatever it is you are pretending to do RIGHT NOW. And become absorbed. This has not been played in full in almost 3 years, so it is waaaay over-due. We will correct that situation right now.
It is a TOTAL MIND BLOWER. Dusting off your very best headphones is strongly recommended. |
