Mister Water Wet Mix
Here it is, a sonic sedative prescribed to you by Mister Water Wet.
“We'll begin, naturally enough, with "First Position" from Pan American. First effects of note are simulated strings, a synthetic stimulus that will reprise itself later in more organic reflections as the digital fray succumbs to acoustic "reality" - we must come back home by the time all of this is said and done. Soon we're introduced to our narrator, a Treated Piano speaking in the language of Satie, channeled first by Johan Johannsson, later by Sakamoto, Swod, Rachel's and Basinski. Like getting hit by a set of waves in slow motion, the crash, spray, and splash of the first wave stretched thinner than taffy... salt shards in water droplets dissipate as gravity pulls each back to the whole, into calm before the next crash, "that wasn't so bad," each subsequent wave accepted with less fear and more delight.”
