elements by murmer
::: artist notes :::
released as a limited edition 3″ cdr included with the first fifty copies of 'they were dreaming they were stones', making use of all the sound elements from the performance 'k.a.' that were not represented on the full length cd it accompanies. this is not a performance document; the sounds are completely restructured, as the ties to the visual elements within the performance are obviously not present. the development, culminating with the grating of a coiled metal wire, follows the slow advance of a storm, exploding and abating in the final moments.
::: liner notes :::
crickets, rocks, turkish football victory celebrations, road noise and bicycle vibrations from inside a bicycle bell, a coiled metal wire
all source recordings made between 1999 and 2003
composed 2003 using minidisc, 8-track and effects
ground fault recordings / GF030B
