volans 2 and RNCPS reviewed in vital weekly 783
jonathan read - volans 2 RNCPS - III
in vital weekly 740 i reviewed the first disc by jonathan read from south eastern australia. he produces music with heavily processed field recordings. i assumed back then, due to the lack of any information that this was all done in the world of computers. not much news under the sun, though nice music anyway. in very much the same field of music, being...

textura reviews ‘nigel samways: nine barrow down’ ephre imprint
for his third ephre ep, english sound experimentalist nigel samways plunders source material by two unidentified yet nevertheless “eminent and quintessentially english composers of differing creed”—not that their identities make a whole lot of difference when samways re-shapes the sounds as drastically as he does...

underwater noises (cdr by ephre imprint)
