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.
