about

Busier electronics prevail in this piece. Non-traditional playing of the gongs requires unusual tools and devices as opposed to using mallets and soft sticks. All the acoustic sounds made with metal are performed live and captured via a portable digital recorder. The use of a hand-held microphone is employed, scraping the ball covering of the mic against the gongs produces the muffled and dark sounds heard about eight minutes into the piece. Listening in a moving vehicle is discouraged as road noises tend to mask the sounds your speakers are trying to reproduce. An insufficient speaker system may suffer some distortion with louder sounds, as none of these are compressed for this recording.

lyrics

The Sun is gone now. To mourn its' passing, the sky has drawn up its' clouds and made them to shed tears on the earth. The false security of the day has been washed through a thousand rivulets and into the drainage ditches down the street. (from "Evening") by Michael David Gilley (1969)
