notes

Scott F. Hall has experimented with sound as an art form for exhibition (sonic art) for 21 years. His first attempts in 1985 involved ping-pong multitrack recording onto a pair of ordinary cassette decks. Initially, he also composed unregistered, layered "sound sculpture" by recording repeatedly onto telephone machine answering machine loop tapes. At that time, he used an electric guitar, a sampling keyboard, and several analog electronic tone generators as his main instruments. Today, Hall has switched over to digital multitrack recording technology, but the enigmatic sound pieces he creates remain diverse in aural character, musical reference, and are harmonious and very listenable.

The centerpiece of this 37+ minute CD is a multitrack meditation: a 24 and 1/2 minute long auditory exhibition of the growling, rhythmic beauty of electric bass guitar left largely unaltered by effects. For best results, play this track loudly while driving a long, lonely highway.

    Five thumbs up. The short pieces left me wanting more! Groove for the Uncommon Attention Span was 24 minutes well spent. I really liked how the strong backbone and subtle changes played out.
