  • abel okugawa - 2 Trac Travels
Liner Notes: Sounds of a temperate rain forest summer at 3 o'clock am, a helicopter approaching and leaving, aliens contacting earth in search of a reply, a reply of sped up beats and space bells from the left speaker lead them to an earthly groove from the right speaker, letting them know all is safe as they meet together and find harmony. This piece is a 1/4'" tape collage made using a circa 1970 sony 1/4" tapecorder ...Abel Okugawa has utilized both sides of the stereo tape at different speeds and splices creating a conversational piece .... 2001 www.abelokugawa.com 2 Trac Travels Artist: abel okugawa Label: Avon Sound Recordings Genres: Electronic, Soundtrack Release Date: 05-Oct-2007 Original Release Year: 2000 Recording Location: Avon Sound , Charlottesville VA
