Enregistrements constitués de sons de vagues sur la plage de Rye, reconstruits pour donner une impression d'immobilité tout en drones...
and/OAR is extremely happy to present this powerfully mesmerizing work; carefully remastered and reissued for the first time on CD format. Under the original title of "Der Sonne", this work was originally issued as a limited quantity CDR release on Andrew Deutsch's Magic If label several years ago.
"The Sun was constructed by passing ocean waves (recorded at Rye Beach, New Hampshire), through various digital processing devices. The most articulate of these processors was a tone generator able to isolate and respond to specific frequencies present in the ocean waves. The concept behind The Sun was to make a static music or a kind of music that just shimmered in place. This concept can be traced back to the works of Anthony Braxton in his Tri Axiom Writings, and to Stockhausen in his early serial pieces. As Stockhausen says, "there is a difference between starting and stopping and beginning and ending". The pieces presented here do not begin and end but simply start and stop. The Sun is also a work, in a series of works, I have created to aid in the process of drawing. I call these works 'image drones/sounds for drawing'. The sounds were all inspired by the 'power field theories' of Joseph Beuys and are
dedicated to him and his family." (Andrew Deutsch)
This release will present the first of a new line of packaging for and/OAR. Nicely printed oversized cardstock inserts inside a sturdy clear plastic sleeve with a flap. The CDs will be protected by cloth safety sleeves made in Japan. Special thanks to Kiyoshi Mizutani and Kiyoharu Kuwayama for their help in obtaining the sleeves.

i definitely agree; watson is one of the best.. zenwarrior, thanks for this one!
This piece is lush and lovely! It ranks, in my opinion, with Soundscapes And Drones by Atheus as a standout in the genre. Loops Over Land is also smooth and beautiful, but it's a different, more Basinski-esque kind of music. Most of the rest of Andrew's work, at least the work that I've heard, is more atonal, glitchy and experimental, and requires focused attention, but this piece just washes over you. It makes me wonder if this is a one-off, or if Eisener Schmutterling / Spiral Wind /Spiral Drone or any of his later works (for instance, Inductive Music or Organic Fields) are also like this.
