Most music is all about pairing notes. Electronic Music is all about pairing
sounds. Saul Stokes is an artist who lives in sound. His album METACOLLAGE
(49'40") resides among his more Ambient and textural works. Made up of eight
quietly complex brain churners, the music on this CD sounds as if electricity
were expressing itself as music. Unique tones, ranging from the experimental to
the pastoral, are arranged and combined into a most original music. Chimes ring
under a digital cloud while raw waveforms are gently twisted, filtered and
subdued into fascinating and ever-changing timbres. Jittery beeps slow into
lovely melody as a cyber-lullaby forms amidst dulcet synth tones and echo
feedback. The overall effect remains in the listening background, yet every now
and then a piece does call attention to itself. There is something wondrous
about the way this music is produced. While experimenting with his imagination
Saul Stokes reveals himself in his work.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from METACOLLAGE by sonic innovator
Saul Stokes
