This week on Sine Languages: Ryan’s been busy going back to school, so here’s an episode from back before the show really got its start, between the lost pilot (which shall remain forever hidden) and Episode 1.2 (where, for all purposes, the show really starts). It’s a mix of drone and ambient music with field recordings, an experiment in mixing that influenced the way I design and mix together each episode of SL. I lost the last playlist, but here’s what I remember: [ Lawrence English : The Surface of Everything (from A Color for Autumn), Arvid Tomakyo-Peters : A Pitcher of Old-Fashioneds, Jacaszek : Martwa cisza (from Treny), Tod Dockstader : Lala (from Aerial I) ]. Hope you enjoy. Listen now!
