about

Magnetic Conduction

This transmission of sound, from metal through air to flesh, is a vibration of possibility. Sounds rise and fall, like waves upon a distant shore. And we take them in. We sense them beyond just hearing, into feeling and knowing. In the capable hands of Michael Bettine, the sounds are not just played, but they are manipulated and expanded, taking on a life of their own. The energy is palpable, physical, visceral. Welcome to the world of Magnetic Conduction.

Recording Notes

All tracks recorded live to 2-track stereo using the ORTF miking method. There is no studio processing. All effects and sounds are done live, by the artist’s hands. Because there is no compression on the tracks, the dynamic range is extremely wide. Adjust your speaker volume accordingly. Quality headphones add an extra dimension to the sound.

I've never heard anything else like this. I was fortunate to see Simon in Australia last January at MOFO and his playing and ideas are unique. This album blows me away. Check it out! Michael Bettine

Gongs. Big Gongs. Deep Gongs. Powerful Gongs, yet subtle music that reaches your inner core. Beautiful. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen over a good sound system or good headphones! Michael Bettine

I played a duo set with Scott down in Australia at MOFO. This guy can play! I love his sound. You will too! I need to play with him again someday. This album reminds me of the music we made. Buy it!! Michael Bettine
