hey em411,
it's been a while since i've shared any new music here. just wanted to let folks know that my new release, Arctic/Antarctic is now available for download via Luxus-Arctica: link
it is very minimal and ambient and based mainly on guitar improvisations and field recordings.
i hope you enjoy it and i'd love to hear what you think.
thanks,

Nice release. It's good to hear music that lives up to the graphics. I like the music even more.

am listening to this. very nice, especially the antarctic section.
I was interested in the techniques you used for this stuff. the LUXX website says LUXX said: "Rather than using digital processes, this portion relies only on loops created using a system of modified analog cassette tapes. These cassettes were played back and rerecorded at a distance capturing some of the surrounding sounds such as cats moving about the room and hints of nearby construction" can you tell us about the tapes you used, and how you did the re-recording and stuff? what did you put on the loops, that kind of thing.
