Sounds of Frequency

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released as an audio testing record by Folkways, 'Sounds of Frequency' is a highly unusual artifact engineered by the son of the famous composer. The disc comprises raw oscillator tones and frequency sweeps intended to calibrate high-fidelity audio equipment. Inadvertently, the stark, atonal purity of the signals acts as a fascinating precursor to the minimalist electronic and drone music that would emerge decades later.
