"Cycles"
Ron Thomas - Keyboard Synthesizer
John Swana - EVI Synthesizer
Joe Mullen - Percussion
Vectordisc 006 & 007
2 CD Set
Recorded by Glenn Ferracone
at The Music Centre, Exton, PA
June 17, 2003 and October 12, 2004
Mastered by Paul Kohler
Produced by Richard Burton
Cycles is a collection of 11 feature
length tone poems, cinematic landscapes
and quasi-mystical soundscapes. John Swana
and Ron Thomas (synthesizer sounds) and
Joe Mullen (percussion)create everything
from tiny microscopic events to swirling
masses of raging mountainous ostinatos.
The resulting music is more like drama
and cinema(characters, psychologies,
plots, narratives) than just "listening
to" music. Essential to the presentation
of course is the excellent soundscape
recording techniques of recording engineer
Glenn Ferracone. Several trial sessions
preceded the pieces released here and
other projects are ahead for this group
including performances and future recordings.
