Birmingham Sound Matter

Birmingham Sound Matter - CD & Digital Download

Francisco Lopez has long been considered a great master of abstract electronic music. His studies of noise, silence and the fabric of recorded sound have been a major presence in the realm of electroacoustic music over the past ten years or so. In this instance Lopez collaborated with a host of regional sound artists, collecting field recordings from around the city, shaping them into streams of decontextualised noise that are typical of Lopez's more challenging brand of microsound.

JIMMY BEHAN - The Echo Garden
==========
This album is a classic example of delicate micro-ambient beauty. When I play the album - it gives me a feeling of calm as the melodies and tiny sonic details capture my imagination. Here is a preview - try it for yourself!


+ Across The Rooftops - MP3 Preview

Set in an acoustic environment suggesting rarefied light, shimmering details and a micro-cosmos of activity. The Echo Garden showpieces the latest development in Jimmy’s beautiful aesthetic presence. He excels in the manipulation of tiny grains of audio, processed and arranged into a serene micro-ambience.

There is no doubt Jimmy is raw talent and we are very pleased to be working with him. To find out more about Jimmy visit the release page and read the interview.
