Andrew Chalk / Ralf Wehowsky / Eric Lanzillotta: Yang Tul LP (Anomalous Records) An international sound collaboration. Side one features Andrew Chalk gently reworking the sound materials of Ralf Wehowsky into a hypnotic drone with waves of mysterious sound. For side two, Ralf composed a frenzied journey into otherworldly realms using sound material from Andrew and Eric Lanzillotta. Subtle, but full of detail for the listener willing to pay attention. Ralf Wehowsky of Germany has been pioneering different forms of collaborative projects and sound-ecology (like recycling of musical material) since the early eighties. Ralf's work is primarily released through Selektion, under his initials RLW. Andrew Chalk is English and was member of Ferial Confine, Organum, and Ora. Eric Lanzillotta is the founder of Anomalous Records; he has contributed to recordings by Hands To and performed in collaboration with bernhard günter. Last May, he performed solo at the Beyond Music Sound Festival in Los Angeles alongside Richard Lerman, Achim Wollscheid, Small Cruel Party, White Winged Moth and others. |
