Centres

by Ian William Craig

Centres cover art

The Vancouver-based sound artist delivers a breathtaking, highly textured exploration of vocal manipulation and analog degradation. By running his classically trained operatic voice through a series of customized, malfunctioning reel-to-reel tape decks, Craig creates a deeply melancholic, crumbling choral atmosphere. It is widely regarded as his breakthrough masterpiece, blending the pristine beauty of classical music with the unpredictable decay of experimental ambient.
