Crystal Awareness & Hal McGee – signal load patterns (CD)

This is another jam session \ collaboration which was recorded in Gainesville, Florida (Hal`s  place more likely) on April 28th, 2012. Crystal Awareness goes the digital way: laptop, Ableton Live, native instruments Reaktor, Absynth and  FM8. Hal McGee seems more analog, using: Moog MF-107, FreqBox, Moog MF-104 Analog Delay and Korg Monotron synthesizer. There`s five songs on this long (+ 75 minutes of music) CD. I was expecting the strange, the weird, the bizarre, the what the hell is this type of experimental, almost electroacoustic at times album. I started listening to this at work, while answering emails. And damned, what a surprise this is! The music is a mixture of fluctuating spacy \ ambient noise (the sound of a dying nebula perhaps),   with minimal, nearly chill-out deeply spacy ambience included (Tangerine Dream on steroids probably). It`s a bird, it`s a fly, no, it`s ambient space noise gozungus baby!!!. Signal Load Patters is Hal McGee`s most  accessible collaboration \ recording so far. I`m highly impressed here, dammit!!! Well don`t just stand there, write him:  Hal McGee, 4230 SW 20th Lane APT. F, Gainesville, FL, 32607, USA.
