Toby Driver is the driving force behind sonic experimenters Kayo Dot, and his colleague on this outing is musician, writer, and filmmaker Nick Hudson. They got together in February in New York for an outing to see Mr Bungle, and decided to make full use of their time by booking some studio time with engineer/producer Marc Urselli. Black Feather Under Your Tongue is the result on 90 minutes of recording, with a deliberate aim for spacious minimalism, all totally improvised. Efficiency at work, I think!
Island Of Dust (1999). Second solo album by TUU and Stillpoint collaborator. Using acoustic instruments and electronic recording techniques Parkin has crafted an album evoking dark textural soundscapes and desolate windswept places.
Geomorphic Resonance (2001). Nick Parkin's "Geomorphic Resonance" is an intense evocation of geological processes, glacial movement and erosion. Parkin realizes his unique concept of sonic geology through the use of manipulated field recordings and treated instrumental textures, conjuring up an imaginary land wrought by ice, wind and water. Densely textured compositions convey the harsh edge of nature's forces.
