Stromatolites

Overview

Stromatolites --- 1998

Stromatolites 1 & 2 are lamination pieces which were mixed in the studio by superimposing tracks of separately recorded instrumental material. Some of the constituent tracks were recorded in different locations. There is no synchronization of the layers. Each work exists in several different versions, in which individual tracks are prominent to greater or lesser degrees. In Stromatolites 1, Sutherland is heard on two tracks (gong & springs respectively), Bohman on one track (prepared violin with added effects) and Prime on three tracks (one of water sounds and two of radio noise). Track 3 was recorded live at the Huntingdon Arms on 5th March '98; it was minimally edited in two stages. Music copyright Adam Bohman, Ron Briefel, Clive Graham, Michael Prime, Roger Sutherland, 1988.
