about

In 2004 and 2005 Tod Dockstader and I created two albums of electronic music/musique concrete, the first of which was based on frog and toad sonorities, the second which was a mangling of some of our favorite film soundtracks. Following these efforts I proposed a third project in which we might deconstruct well known classical music pieces. Unfortunately at that time Tod’s health was beginning to decline, and whether due to that fact or an artistic hesitance on his part, it did not come to be. The present collection represents my attempt to
resurrect the concept.

Halfway through this project I remembered Lucas Foss’s 1967 “Baroque Variations” which I had acquired on Nonesuch LP in 1971. My memory of the liner notes has always been his saying that he had a dream where the notes of a Bach composition were washing in and out like waves at the beach - not entirely accurate, but close enough, and it inspired my continued pursuit of this direction. Foss’s subtitle for the Bach section of his suite was “Phorion” (Greek for “stolen goods”) and I confess to being a thief of perhaps even a greater degree than he.

“Good artists copy, great artists steal.” -Pablo Picasso

Anthology Of Contemporary Post Industrial Music
by Various Artists

supported by 6 fans who also own “Arcane Device Plays the Music of J.S. Bach”

Magnificient compilation of Dark / Post Industral music. Ying shui di jiang sets immediately the serious, dark and dystopian mood that never lets the listener go for the whole experience, but all the artists give their best efforts (all tracks are really magnificient) to keep the ears glued to the hearphones, each one with his own signature but always keeping the tone of the album. A stunning and amazing compilation, my favourite multi artists this year. Marco Zonta
