about

More of an ambient/electronic approach to the first tracks on No.3. The 4 track was used as the source for sounds then carried on to the computer and abused by a free demo of Wave Lab. Sound sources include crinckled cassette tape, Casio drum sounds, needles on records and rudimentary effects boxes. The remainder of the CD (by contrast) is a selection of cover versions. Phil Collins`s "Easy Lover" gets semi-trashed (although it gets kind of funky and is wierdly satisfying). Also John Fahey done in a (drunk) barber shop style, Michael Jackson on helium, and (of course) the Airwolf theme tune! which rocks out to conclude.


Chris Cutler in the ReR Recommended catalogue:

"4TRECK : No. 3. CD-R. Third by Sam Callow, a kind of more experimental instrumental R. Stevie Moore, who works on stretches of time building musical structures that aren't really pieces the way a group or a soloist would make pieces. They are melodic, rhythmical (often poly- or additively) and not at all abstract or electronic. Care is taken with sound, not to make it strange, just to make it essential. Wide instrumentation, no winds though. Sketches, but the kind of sketches you keep and which sometimes capture something elusive and haunting. This one: Big sounds, odd rhythms, plunderwork, stretched structures, strangeness. Even some lounge exotica (almost). Start here"
