This album was recorded in an old, partially abandoned cement factory close to the borders of Russia and China. Its skeletal metal structures are rich in haunting low-frequency (over)tones, Jan's highly sensitive geophones (devices used for seismic recording) allow us to hear the earth-shaking sonic worlds of these ghostly locations.
Jan Ryhalsky was born and lives in the far east of Russia. He began to record sounds in 2010, and quickly dove deep into recording theory. The main focus of his research is sounds with low intensity, often beyond the threshold of human hearing.
Warning: contains a lot of subsonic frequencies! Listen on good sound systems.
A decade old, but new to me. Seems to have just been re-released by Delmark. Ernest has become increasingly prominent around town as a "messenger" for the music, and for the South Side.
@rostasi, I am interested in that Ron Jefferson album. Bobby Hutcherson must have been quite a youngster at the time
Lifer by Ricky Byrd. Seeing him with Joan Jett in the 2015 Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame Induction reminded me to check out this album - at eMu. Very middle period Stones or Faces kind of vibe.
