Bleep

The Sub Rosa guys dig real deep here and provide Indonesian composer Otto Sidharta with his first proper physical release in over forty years of practice. Here they present four long form pieces that showcase Sidharta’s interest in environmental sound art and field recording manipulation. The LP opens with ‘Ngendau’, a beautiful twelve minute piece utilising bird calls, water sounds and children playing. ‘Nature’ and ‘Saluang’ are slightly darker affairs, full of twists and turns and droning ‘dark’ ambient. For fans of Pierre Henry, Valerio Tricoli et al.
