Artist: Phillip Wilkerson Title: A Brief Compendium of Silence Label: Dystimbria URL: http://dystimbria.cc License: CC BY NC SA Format: MP3 320 kbps Artist Statement: For this track, I used Dystimbria 9, 10, 11, and 12. I copied all 4 complete tracks into Studio One and chopped them each into about 10 sections. Then, I chose sections at random from each track, in order, until I had about 15 minutes of clips on a new track. I cross-faded them together into a single merged track, then added various effects until the whole track sounded coherent to me with its own ebb and flow between the silences and sounds, drones, noise, and my own added field recordings. Its named: "A Brief Compendium of Silence" Label Statement: Dystimbria offers single 10-30 minute long compositions from various sound composers exploring the space in-between ambient and noise music, each available for free downloading. These compositions are inter-connected, in that each one (with the exception of the first) contains sound samples extracted from previous entries in the continuum. This activity is meant to be a forum for composers to go outside of their comfort zone. Ambient artists can get noisy and noise artists can get quiet. Cross-pollinate. http://dystimbria.cc
