The TONUS Tribute mix: 75:21 | An ‘e l e m e n t s‘ side project.
(unstable, discordant & audiologically dysfunctional)
This raw & untamed project initially began with over 14 hours of music. That was chopped to 3 hours as the palette of
T O N U S
material with which to begin – and the segueing/mixing/editing beg an at that point.
Overlays, ghosted audio imaging and l-o-n-g segues tapered it all down to a 75 minute mixture (+ another 67 for part 2) of ether-jazz, drone/glitch & experimentation – with a goal of showcasing TONUS within a construct of an elements deliverable.
Think of it as a cross between John Cage & The Slow Music Project— a sparse & minimalist soundscape. It is, primarily, an Experimental (in terms of compositions used) mix; then Minimal (as regards its sparseness of sound) then Ambient (due to its level of quietude) & lastly, Ether-Jazz.(because 80% of the tracks originate from A New Wave of Jazz artists).
We’d like to give a “shout out” to Silent Records for providing many of the corollary artists needed to make this a proper audiological “fit”.
