Album Notes & Community Reviews

A masterclass in early sampling and digital delay techniques, this album consists entirely of a single sustained string sample heavily processed and manipulated in real-time. 'Woo Lae Oak' creates a profoundly hypnotic, slowly evolving microtonal drone that expands and contracts with mesmerizing fluidity. The record established Carl Stone as one of the preeminent figures in American electronic minimalism.
