Sponge

Dylan van der Schyff, drums and samples
Chris Tarry, electric bass and tape machine

From a nether corner of the ambient world comes Sponge, a largely improvised and very eclectic take on the subject. The duet has conjured up a visceral sea of sound and imagination which is sometimes calming, sometimes disturbing, sometimes both at the same time. Don't mistake Sponge for another hypnotic, into-the-void wallpaper music CD. Sponge is too emphatic and embodies a greater musical presence than most ambient releases, largely owing to van der Schyff's deep background in improvised and new musics and to Tarry's multifaceted experience across the musical spectrum. 24 minutes of live improvised electronics. Produced by Chris Tarry and Dylan van der Schyff.
Recorded and mixed April 1997 by Shawn Pierce for Maximum Music.
