Fricatives by Ned Milligan

By design, Fricatives is a concise collection of tracks exploring the rough edges of recent ventures into recording with chimes and cassette tape. Growing mostly out of improvisations recorded on a rural porch in Maine, a certain frailty defines these pieces, which is heightened by their tonal beauty. Storms, waterfalls, and sudden surges of wind all play supporting roles. In some ways, this is a scrapbook of candids and chance encounters, but it also reminds you of just how meaningful those can be.
