Sounds of shortwave radio, municipal broadcast recordings, fragments of found microcassette tapes, tones and instruments dramatize the fragility and failures of communication and language in shaping memory and experience. This album is dedicated to Adam Sonderberg, without whom I could not have completed this project.”- Olivia Block Lesley Swanson, flute. Shaun Flynn, clarinet. Musicians were recorded at Experimental Sound Studio, Chicago Il in January 2015. The session was engineered by Alex Inglesian." [label info] https://glisteningexamples.com
