"Carl Stone is one of the pioneers of live computer music, and has been hailed by the
Village Voice
as 'the king of sampling' and 'one of the best composers living in [the USA] today.' He has used computers in live performance since 1986. Stone was born in Los Angeles and now divides his time between California and Japan. He studied composition at the California Institute of the Arts with Morton Subotnick and James Tenney and has composed electro-acoustic music almost exclusively since 1972.
Al-Noor
contains Carl Stone's newest explorations into the dismantling and re-composition of global song and melody, and their relationships to other resonant rhythmic and harmonic phonemes. Stone's computer technology brings forth the transformation of beats, measures and sonic landscape into phase-shifted liquid journeys and sonic monuments. From solitude to shred, sounds gradually shift forth creating new scenes of distant mystery. Movement births stillness. Order becoming anarchy becomes paradise. Other-dimensional voices beat within a new world of texture and space. This is that. Here is there. Those become these. This CD of four new compositions represents Stone at one of the most creative periods of his career."
