These recordings comprise a variety of non-documentary auditory perspectives on Binatone Galaxy, an installation for twenty eight portable cassette recorders loaded with self-amplifying tapes. Tracks 01 to 07 are assembled from studio recordings of individual machines made at the Grain Barn, Bristol. Track 08 was recorded at the SARU, Oxford and presents the acoustic sound of the massed machines switched on and off by the built-in motion sensors which activate the work.

Sounds like water, All them tape players. Thanks.
Thought I’d give it a go, on a whim; you never know, eh?
-Really listenable… emergent rhythms and even harmonies – a lot of genuine depth in this one. Recommended for drone-lovin’ folks who like a sprinkle of maths with their field recordings.
