spectropol records

Bruce Hamilton presents 19 experimental mashups of tracks by an eclectic crew of international artists. Musique concrète, improvisation, drones, soundscapes, postminimalism, complexity, and noise all play into the resultant electroacoustic package which is designed to flow as an album.

Strange and beautiful ambient and “pop” tracks from Jeff Fairbanks.

These electronic instrumental tracks are like postcards documenting a character through the ups and downs of everyday life, where the mundane and magical rub shoulders. They explore textures and moods, as short stories or sketchbooks can, resulting in the wide stylistic approaches (cartoon-ish, poignant, atmospheric) presented. The album is not programmatic; rather, the stories are up to the listener.

Nice bit on Daniel Stearns’ Golden Town by the always excellent Christian Carey on S21.
