From out of the atmospheric backwaters of the World Music genre flows the
fascinating soundworlds of Forrest Fang. His work combines native flutes,
eastern strings and exotic percussion with synthesizers and digital
processing to produce a music for our world but not entirely of it. His CD
PHANTOMS (70'10") opens up and explores a minimalistic region of music
where expressions are made through the gradual motion of textures and
timbres - all churning beneath cavernous reverberation. PHANTOMS' eight
tracks move between static drones and metallic cross-modulations to the
tumultuous soundscapes of nocturnal ambience - where rhythms seem based
more in ancient ceremonies than in computer software. Exceptional in its
dark hued subtlety this work transports the listener to a cyber-jungle
nowhereland. Alternating between the dreamy and the experimental, the
primitive and the futuristic, this music conjures up an imaginary
environment ruled by mythic lost tribes, technology and the vast continent
of Forrest Fang's dark vision.

Please tune into STAR'S END this weekend for music from
multi-instrumantalist Forrest Fang and his forthcoming CD PHANTOMS
