Taking my inspiration from the classic old music libraries used for TV and low budget movie productions in the 1960 s and 1970 s, as well as the curious early electronic experiments of Raymond Scott and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, I've crafted a collection of 18 odd vignettes spanning a generous variety of styles. Equal parts contemporary classical music, experimental bedroom electronica and obscure vintage film music, this album is my most playful to date.</p> <p>While my earlier releases such as Gebrauchsmusik (Lampse 2006) and Schattenspieler (Miasmah 2010) displayed an underlying conceptual and/or stylistic coherence, Library Music 1 makes a point of going in a completely different direction. Just like the tracks of old music libraries, the 18 untitled tracks of Library Music 1 are disconnected fragments looking for a purpose; music without a preconceived meaning and/or context. More than anything, Library Music 1 comes across as a varied candy bag for listeners with a taste for the peculiar.</p> <img src="libmus1_gfx/1line.gif" /> <br /><br /> <table align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" valign="top"> <tr height="154"> <td width="285"><img src="libmus1_gfx/listen.gif"></td> <td width="350"> <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="349" height="153" data="xspf_player.swf?autoload=true&amp;repeat_playlist=true&amp;playlist_url=libmus1_exc/pl_libmus01exc.txt"> <param name="movie" value="xspf_player.swf?playlist_url=libmus1_exc/pl_libmus01exc.txt" /> </object> </td></tr> </table> <a name="buy"> <br /> <img src="libmus1_gfx/1line.gif" /> <br /></a> <table align="center" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" valign="top"> <tr height="77"> <td width="390"><img src="libmus1_gfx/buy2.gif"></td> <td width="245"> <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post"> <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"> <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="3DKX6UGPSY3TC"> <input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/WEBSCR-640-20110401-1/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG_global.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online."> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/WEBSCR-640-20110401-1/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form> </td></tr> </table> <img src="libmus1_gfx/1line.gif" /> <br /> <img src="libmus1_gfx/sleeve2.gif" /> <img src="libmus1_gfx/1line.gif" /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.kafkagarden.com"><img src="libmus1_gfx/back.gif" align="right" /></a> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> </td> </table> </body> </html>
