More Info INFANT CYCLE zusammen mit ARC, einem eher in Bandkontext funktionierenden Projekt mit AIDAN BAKER. INFANT CYCLE präsentiert ein sehr schönes “experimental ambience”-Stück auf “Seite 1” mit tollen gong-artigen Sounds, während ARC hell schimmernde Guitar-Loop-Mantras mit vielen Schichten entwirft.... ein kleines Juwel, diese mCDR !! “The most recent project embarked upon by The Ceiling is a series of split mini-CDRs (originally intended as a series of a 7"s, which remains in the artwork), between The Infant Cycle and other artists in the southern Ontario region of Canada, working mainly in the arena of CDRs, MP3s, and less in larger-circulation formats. The series intends to bring together artists working outside existing genres and subgenres, working in areas of their own. The intent is to unify the series with a sense of adventure and challenge, and not necessarily a stylistic consistency. The series is also intended to function somewhat as a sort of newspaper, a snapshot of where each project is at the time of issue. The series can be viewed as sidebar releases by the artists- perhaps a progress report. THE INFANT CYCLE has been in operation since 1992, producing numerous CDRs, CDs, vinyl, cassette and MP3 releases, alongside many compilation appearances for labels all over the planet. The Infant Cycle creates eccentric sound-worlds from disparate strands of instrumental phrases, field recordings, and everything in between; composition mixing with improvisation, influenced by happy accidents and technical failures. The piece contained is a mixing of previously recorded tracks, rethinking the past and foreshadowing future releases. ARC is a Toronto group comprising Aidan Baker, Richard Baker and Christopher Kukiel, and in the past few years have created numerous evocative soundscapes flowing from the rudiments of percussion and guitar. Most of their music is created live in real time: discreet elements are introduced in loops, guitar cascades meshing with gradually shifting polyrhythms. Their "side" is an early take of material recorded live, that was later worked on in the studio for their "The Circle Is Not Round" CD on Italy's Small Voices label. All releases in the Periodical series are "budget" priced releases of 80 copies only.” [label description]
