Listen "Forrest Fang: Forever Cascades and More"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode of Etheric Currents, we’ll be hearing tracks from Forrest Fang, featuring his new album, Forever Cascades.
He says,
“Though my walks near the San Francisco Bay were initially a way for me to clear my head, I also found myself drawn to the cycles and cadences of tides and aquatic life that shifted gradually from season to season. I was seeking a similar underlying cadence or pulse in these pieces that would evolve over time.”
He has also been publishing (on Facebook) a series of photos taken during his walks; if you’re on Facebook, I recommend checking them out.
We’ll hear a selection of tracks from this album as well as a number of others from his discography. If you’re not familiar with his style, Fang combines Frippertronics, Asian instruments, gamelan, and heavy studio processing to build lovely headfuls of sonic sculpture. His titles reflect his interests in mathematics and his love of the natural world.
Tonight’s show will have fewer beats than usual, but plenty of rhythms. It’s a more lean-back-and-close-your-eyes episode this time – take a deep breath, let it out, and let’s listen.
