A common thread for Ryan Gregory Tallman's first album for Petcord, Time Lapses Vol. 1 is the transformation of overlapping
sounds through cancellation and amplification of frequency ranges and how this process generates constantly moving patterns. Thus
what first starts rather unsuspiciously as a static drone turns out to be a detail rich impression of elapsing time at the microscale.
Whether there is a beginning or ending does not really seem to matter as the course of time the way we are familiar with is replaced
with in between, out from the middle and an infinite array of variations and combinations.
The more we are drifting into an open sea of sound, the more one's own imagination combines fragments of details to a logical unit. Or, in other words, the listener becomes an active participant in the music's transformation to a lively impression of an aural cathedral. It therefore comes as no surprise that the single parts of Time Lapses Vol. 1 sound differently at different occasions in different environments.

The release is available as both single mp3 download and entire package including artwork. Some browsers may automatically play the file rather than offering a dialogue what to do with the latter, so in this case downloads may not be that straight forward. In case your favourite browser happens to exhibit exactly that behaviour, simply right click the link, and then a context menu should appear that offers something like "Save as" or "Save location as".
