This is one more (out of print and hard to find) disc by Ingram Marshall to go along with two other discs shared here earlier this year by peachfuzz.
| “ | It is nearly impossible to describe the music of Ingram Marshall, except to say that he employs a wide range of recorded sounds--nature sounds, bells, gongs--and he uses various tape looping techniques to come up with the eeriest sounds ever recorded. By molding these techniques into rising and falling tone clusters, these sounds actually begin to make sense. Three Penitential Voices (1986) was originally a performance piece and Hidden Voices (1989) employs some of the same effects, but he also uses female voices. | ” |
| “ | Composed for a radio series sponsored by the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, Three Penitential Visions utilizes tape technology and samples to create a three-movement electronic soundscape. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch hailed it and Hidden Voices, also featured here, as “quietly potent essays, as gorgeous in their subtle details as they are haunting in overall effect.” -- www.nonesuch.com | ” |
| “ | "Hidden Voices", commissioned by Nonesuch Records, had its premiere at New Music America at The Brooklyn Academy of Music in 1989. It features digitally sampled voices from old recordings of Eastern European lament singers along with a "live" soprano. One of the main conceits of this piece is the simplicity and purity of the solo voice over the wild, keening, often frenetic choirs of vocal sounds he concocts through his electronic wizardry. -- www.newalbion.com | ” |

Peachfuzz - no, unfortunately I do not have that disc. But I was considering sharing two discs by Paul Dresher (with his ensemble). Are you interested?
