1994-10-05 MultiMix



This is a complete noise and sound collage with only occasional and minimal musical backing. Just listening to this is a lot of hard work. I know that isn't much of an endorsement, but it is what it is and I am fairly pleased with it. It is an excellent technical achievement whatever you consider its merits as a form of expression.
As with a visual collage, a Sound Collage is made up of pieces, splices, and overlapping layers, all combined to create an audio piece unique from the source sounds. As with any category defined by its process of creation, pieces that fall under the heading sound collages vary in nature widely, ranging from narrative to ambient. http://www.allmusic.com/explore/style/sound-collage-d11071
