Patrick O'Hearn - Slowtime (CD) - CD

Details: Reissue of this 2005 album from the acclaimed musician. Bassist and synthesizer player, Patrick O'Hearn began his career backing up music wizard Frank Zappa in the 1970s before forming the new-wave band Missing Persons in the early '80s and later striking out on his own. Slow Time is an album of experiments and departures for this veteran artist. Melody and rhythm are abandoned for a music that explores the timbre and textural possibilities of their instruments. The album is largely generated by analog electronics, each piece a study in timbre flux and ambient design.
