about

Sound is but an echo of something against nothing. ~ Singal Rinpoche

'Transmission of Sparks' is a live solo percussion performance. These sounds echo against a cloudless sky and reverberate in our minds. Recorded in the sacred hollows of a resonant church sanctuary, they give us a glimpse of what vibrations can be when they are allowed to echo against brick and stone surfaces. There are no added effects or sonic wizardry added to this recording. It's just 2 mics and the room. Immerse yourself in the deep end of the pool. ~ MB

This is Edition #8 of the Threshold Series. For best results, play it often.

Note: the recording has very little compression on it, thus the quiet sounds are quiet, and the loud sounds are loud. Adjust your system's volume accordingly. Headphones are recommended.

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

Illusory
by JARBOE

I love this recording and find that it takes me to other realms. I often play it when I need to be in a creative mood. Jarboe's music seems to know me better than I know myself. Michael Bettine
