Totally avante garde collection is
a tribute to John Cage's Ryoanji series
of quiet minimalism. All tracks have
some rocks colliding (or billiard balls),
but it is mostly ambient. Track leak into
one another, as this was a sound emplacement.
I'm guessing at what the sounds "are".
1)* click rocks, train sound, buzzer, hiss 2:32
2) a crowd, rubbings 0:30
3) bus depot, electronics 2:40
4)* clonk, beeps, electricity, rhythmic friction 2:53
5) bells & buzzes, crackles 0:16
6) rhythmic clonks, static 6:08
7) low frequency,smack! 0:53
8) wheeooh, subtle drones 1:54
9) spinning chitonous wheel 1:03
10) spinnier with bloops, windlike, bleeps get rhythmic 2:10
11) storm winds, spun cellophone (windblown flute?) 0:48
12) more cellophane 1:33
13) cellophane begets conversation, sirens 2:03
14) tones & sloops, spookiness 2:33
15)* puffs, beeps zmmmms 4:06
16) drums? bells, somerhythm 2:12
17) bells, rustling 1:34
18) hiss, hicks, hmms 4:12
19) birds? 3:18
20) street noise, drone 6:08
21) breathing 1:52
22)* electric drones&tones, menacing ambient
end of a record 3:24
23) insects 1:34
24) night bugs 7:53
25) applause, hmmmm 8:00
26) scary pipes 4:00
27) harsh whispering of monkeys 5:45
28) electronics, sub voices 1:27
