"Split release by two prominent post-1950 composers, offering one piece per, inspired by the mountain sacred to the Blackfeet nation of northwestern Montana. Annea Lockwood gives us the 45 minute 'World Rhythms', endless percolating monitor-click and tone-wash (w/vague dawn-of-man/time overtones) by way of non-repeating location recordings of water, wind, fire, distant gongs, birds, etc... Nice. Similar yet completely different from her previous works (including the magnificent Glass World LP on Tangent which was reissued to great effect recently via the What Next?/Nonsequiter Foundation). Ruth Anderson's piece, 'I come out of your sleep' floats around the negative-space concept before, well, before nothing. Impressive in the purest sense, non tampered/tempered. A fine display of raw sound documenting the furthering in concept of these important composers." --Hrvatski. "'I come out of your sleep' follows a tradition of sound poetry, or text-sound, begun in part by Kurt Schwitters' 'Ursonate', expanded by Henri Chopin, John Cage, and Bernard Heidsieck, by Charles Amirkhanian, Carles Santos and Jackson MacLow, with seminal works in this area. These abstract pieces are formed directly from the sounds of the text used or created, with the full gamut of consonants, vowels and inflections, along with compositional techniques of process, repetition, patterning and overlap." --Anderson
