positive feedback

Philip White and Suzanne Thorpe, aka thenumber46 have just released a really great cassette of their music with tapedrift.

Philip, besides being a genius with cooking meats over long periods of time, builds analog electronic instruments, and deals almost exclusively with feedback systems and loops he has created.  Suzanne is a great flutist and electronic musician, and together they explore some really amazing sonic worlds.

Philip is one of the most musical improvisers I know. I am always struck by the thoughtfulness of his Noise/Music.  Intent, purpose, expression, diversity of textures – it’s a really engaging mix of being on top of his craft both mechanically and musically. Be on the lookout, as he’ll be performing on the BENT Festival and the NY Electroacoustic Music Festival later this spring.
