Voices + Sine Waves Limited Edition Out Today

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Now available!

A special edition of 100 CDs of Randy Gibson‘s album Voices + Sine Waves.

Individually hand-numbered and signed copies are available now for only $10. Click here to purchase your copy

Voices + Sine Waves is a collection of short works by Randy Gibson written over the last 10 years. These works represent the most primal and basic of materials; voices ethereal and guttural; sine waves pure and distorted. Most of these pieces have been scores for short films or dances, but exist on their own as recordings of a single performance.

Exclusive to this CD release, and not available for download, is the raga influenced The Third Pillar with its Lowest Primes and Memories of The Second Pillar from Apparitions of The Four Pillars III-iii-2010 20:02:56″ – 20:20:17″ (Brooklyn). Following the world premiere of Apparitions of The Four Pillars, The Third Pillar immediately struck us all as the most melodic and raga-like of the Pillars, and thus the most readily suitable for a short-form recording. The third take of the evening recording session, The Third Pillar…, is a single improvised performance by Randy Gibson on toy organ, William Lang on trombone, and Drew Blumberg on violin.

There will not be a second printing of this CD, and The Third Pillar will only be available on this recording. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this remarkable collection of works.
