Unfolds in slow waves and jump-cuts, moving from meditations on bus engines and amplified acoustic guitar ground hum to bowed cymbal drones, TV-tube musique concrète, and the rumble-clatter of low drums and metals. 77 minutes to turn your head outside in. Matt Hannafin and Ernesto Diaz-Infante also have a track on the new Voices In The Wilderness: Dissenting Soundscapes & Songs of GW'S America Pax Recordings CD. Available on CD Baby, too. http://cdbaby.com/cd/vitwilderness
