This morning's #workout #music is from Marta Salogni who does live manipulation of 4 track reel-to-reel tape loops. It is unclear if the sound source is the tapes themselves or something external, but the effect is gorgeous.

Ian William Craig – Durbē (2017, Canada)

Continuing our journey through the epic Fedi-sourced catalogue of must-hear albums, our next spotlight is on number 250 on The List, submitted by buffyleigh (me). This is a live album from sound artist, composer, and classically trained vocalist Ian William Craig, recorded in a small Latvian church at the end of his tour nearly 10 years ago for the brilliant studio album Centres. With a couple of tracks stretching past 20 minutes in length, the live format lets Ian experiment to his heart's content, magically looping, delaying, distorting, and further manipulating tape through various faulty cassette machines, creating a gorgeous bed of decaying, droning sounds for his vocals that are sometimes nearly operatic, sometimes also looped and distorted.
