Signatures

These pieces were composed without the use of a computer, only a turntable, old sampler and a portable 64-track digital workstation. Each track is a distillation of commercially available recordings with the essential qualities remaining, only very brief sections are selected and the raw components then contracted into gradually shifting and unfolding atmospheres, offering subtle nuances and quiet restraint. Fragments from these tracks include sounds from birds or water, some being partially obscured while others are veiled references to those elements. Limited edition of 60 signed and numbered copies includes 'Signatures' release plus hand-made booklet, extra 3" CDr ('Broken Light'), all enclosed in horsehair fabric in a hand-made box. 3" CDr custom-made and signed by Colin Andrew Sheffield.
