Archive - Archipelago

Archive is musique plastique by Mike Hallenbeck: an exploration of sound as margin and threshold, peripheries and parentheses, as immersion in a mutable space.
The tracks 'Archipelago' and 'Yes' coalesce around various field recordings (Big Ben, footsteps in a museum gallery, truck motor, crowd at an outdoor festival), both untreated and processed. 'Bitrate' is derived entirely from samples by Charlie DeVico (]]>http://devico.us]]>) and Andrew Duke (cognitionaudioworks.com).
