Alan Halsey rebooted

Technical problems have dogged this upload, but should be resolved now. This version of Alan’s reading at the very first Other Room on April 9th 2008 should take seconds rather than minutes to load.

Description: Performance and CD Launch of Lemke/Gwilliam’s fourmill plus quarterinch

fourmill plus quarterinch is the duo of sound artists and improvising musicians Helmut Lemke and Ben Gwilliam. In this collaboration the two artists use different formats of audiotape; pre-recorded, prepared and unprepared. From individual banks of sound recordings on tape comes a subtle and often dense music that is both composed and improvised in concrete time.

This CD comes in a 5inch tape reel box, including 5 prints made in conjunction with the recordings. http://www.thosesoundsbetween.co.uk
