Rafael Toral - Aeriola Frequency FLAC download

AT FIRST LISTEN I felt cold pockets of air circulating about the room as a lilting hum subtly became recognizable as guitar resonance ("Cyclorama Lift 2"). I paid no attention to what these pieces consisted of. What they really were recordings of. A few minutes after grabbing a drink and sitting down across from my ProAcs - I started reading the liner notes describing a work exploring a "pure electronic resonance." Over an hour later I concluded, this was a steady liquefied note changing pitch and without rest. An electronic thrumming wave trapped in a small aluminum box - floating in space - tied to a shelf - on Mir.Cyclorama Lift is performed with an emptycircuit, basically a feedback loop using as maininstruments two 8-second delays and a 4-band parametricequalizer. There's no input, the loop is constantlynourishing and digesting itself.Best way to describe this sound form is to imagine connecting the dots to JOHN CAGE's "Freeman Etudes, Books 1 & 2" using a no input feedback loop. Travelocity in microgravity. When it's done you'll still hear it.
