SummersRadio™ New Music + Free Downloads! Ian Ross - 'The C-130 Feedback Rig Jam Pt. 1'/ 'The C-130 Feedback Rig Jam Pt. 2'
So a couple days ago we ventured sometime into the future with the new Arcade Fire song from 'The Hunger Games' soundtrack - then we were off 'Speeding Around The Universe' with Tim Xavier - and then we let go of 'Gravity' with Pan-Pot. Tonight we fly into deep space - perhaps even into a black hole! :)
Ian Ross aka C-130 is a Vancouver electronic artist who makes 'minimal/micro/techno/house with some organic leanings... periodically with eastern & latin influences'. Ross has just recorded two new ambient/ experimental/ noise tracks which came about thusly:
'So last night I'm sitting at my desk trying to find the source of a faint pulse, and realized it was gurgle of some static or something caught in a delay vst I had running in my Ableton 'feedback sculptor' set. It was a nice sound, so I hit record & started fiddling, using the other effects I have in the set, and this is what I wound up with. No synths, beats, instruments, edits, tracking or overdubs. Just effects back & thru each other. It's pretty rough going but I think quite intense & beautiful if you go right through it. And very cyclical... think Steve Reich vs Merzbow.'
Parts 1 and 2 of 'The C-130 Feedback Rig Jam' are both intriguing and hypnotic, but actually quite different. Part 1 clocks in around eight and a half minutes in length with an assortment of usual sounds popping up that both startle and entrance. Part 2 runs for nearly 25 minutes and is a full on journey into the unknown! This is where we may slip into a black hole, or perhaps somewhere otherworldly.
The good news is that if either or both tracks are to your liking they're both available as a free download from C-130's Soundcloud page here: http://soundcloud.com/c-130-1 (or simply click on the respective download icons)
First up we have 'The C-130 Feedback Rig Jam Pt. 1'... Enjoy!
And this is 'The C-130 Feedback Rig Jam Pt. 2' - prepare to be transported... Enjoy!
