autumn press release...

ar027 michael shannon - sensa atmospheres cassette release date: 09/27/11 100 copies professionally duplicated cassette with laser printed j-card photos by michael shannon layout by greg davis michael shannon has been a quiet force in the seattle music scene and elsewhere for many many years. his anomalous records lp 'laguz' first caught my attention and he also made an excellent album 'raido' for digitalis. mike's music is often a one man band affair. he plays everything from bass to percussion to stones / leaves / sticks to dilruba to tibetan bowls and more'sensa atmospheres' is a long form piece that he composed in 1992. it weaves a beautiful tapestry of sounds. a lovely ethno-electro-acoustic journey full of field recordings, home built percussion, oscillators, erhu and dilruba. mike has always been making cool music way before it was cool.

2003 release ; this is... by far... the most interesting record-object i’ve been able to stock via mms thusfar (buddha machine :: ha!) ... what ships as two cds and a three-inch cd-rom inside a resealable plastic display-bag (left) in fact opens up to be an inflatable möbius-strip / objét d’art that you assemble and inflate yourself (with the included red straw no less), then display prominently on your mantlepiece ... voila :: on top of all that, the two audio-discs are rife with excellent, exclusive material from a who’s who of the international sound-art scene ... plus the 3” cd-rom explains the project in more detail and contains artist bios & links & whatnot ... just plain amazing ... no collection should be without !!!
