driphouse - moog workshop- gel - cass - 6$
This recording was created during a temporary employment position at a commercial music studio. The result: ten incredibly brief tracks composed on a Moog Modular in the vein of classic early Moog adopters. Strains of Wendy Carlos or BBC Radiophonics Workshop may be heard through this cassette as the listener travels within it. Daren Ho, the man also known as Driphouse, underwent several days of library music listening required as part of the employment. Many of those songs end up in a third of major broadcast television and radio commercials. "Moog Workshop" is a reflection of this brief stint

evan miller - contacting the eye - gel - cass - 6$
The folk instrument may sound abandoned, but these very clean compositions from Evan Miller display a different instrumental integrity. Melody is stripped away which reveals very focused arrangement of harmonics and drones that live in the now. These tracks offer something invaluably refreshing from this traditionally finger-plucking performer.-gel
Fusions of sounds rarely occur with success without it turning into world-class garbage. Fortunately, "Sch" is a rare success indeed as 51717 brings out the best of the east and the west. The tracks appear like romantic synth reflections of anonymous Hong Kong cinema music, while taking advantage of the ambient possibilities of synthetic electronics. "Sch" is a beautiful and confounding amalgamation of digital and analog song.
