Ourobouros - Processor Music

Label: pulsewidth Country: USA

"Ourobouros (2001) was the first album of solo Feedback Music since 1993. The same sort of feedback matrix as used in previous outings is employed, but each mixer line is true stereo to make fuller use of today's stereo effects processors. Four effectors are used, and minimal input from a non-sampling rhythm generator on occasion. The sounds can be very ethereal, or evoke insect and small animal noises, or can be reminiscent of "real" instruments. Most tracks are recorded live with only slight computer editing afterward, a few constructed on computer from Feedback source material."-Pulsewidth

"ranks among the very best of contemporary 'computer music' recordings I've heard in recent years... Myers' ability to sustain the tension between strangeness and familiarity is impressive, and his music on this CD is quietly and consistently compelling."-Bill Tilland, Motion Reviews
