A local San Franciso artist raising pleasant havoc with recordings of birds and woodmasted ships.
Mr. American is the host (?) of a local series of nights called Field Effects, a very irregular beanbag-oriented gathering.
The album is an organic affair that he composed for a friends' wedding.
Out of a handful of high-quality stereo captures, an echo algorithm, and some cut-and-paste trickery, he's crafted some distinctly nautical occurrances.
They're much too intense to be natural, but they capture and amplify the immediate
spirit of the real.
The bookend tracks are a particularly nice listen.
You can probably obtain copies of your own from his .org site.
