about

New Bird Sounds, by Bloomington based composer David Brown, is an audio journey that blasts off from Southwest Indiana then flys straight up into the sonic stratosphere. New ear adventures around every aural corner, the album pops with captivating tones both catchy and mysterious. Warped and withered tape experiments intermingle with acoustic rhythms, droning strings and improvisational horns n keys. A beautiful document of contemporary Hoosier electronic folk & vibed out, expansive compositions.

To Live & Die In Space & Time
by Lynn Avery & Cole Pulice

supported by 17 fans who also own “New Bird Sounds”

4 peaceful jazz vignettes. Belt of Venus is aquamarine, with a slow, tidal energy as dignified as the sea. The aptly named plantwood is budding, emergent as flowers on dewy moss in the forest. Stained Glass Sauna has a smoky, mountain resonance, while the Sunken Cabin emerges slowly from dust-mote stillness to tortured but deliberating peaks. The whole thing is bursting with character.
