Dave Fetcho, New Music Consort - Edging Toward Saturn
STYLE: RATING OUR PRODUCT CODE: 21690- LABEL: Modern Musik FORMAT: Cassette Album
Reviewed by Rupert Loydell
This release is a soundtrack to multi-media events staged in California by the Berkeley-based experimental Christian group New Music Consort - principally musician David Fetcho and dancer Susan English Fetcho - and other collaborators. I never got to see the show or any documentation, but the piece's stuttering, sampled, abstract synthesizer tunes are a remarkable excursion in soundscapes which repay careful listening. If you're intrigued by electronic experimentation this cassette is well worth locating.
