about

"The Detail of Little Evenst" contains five ambient and drone pieces by Paragaté (Tim Risher and Tom DePlonty). "Baby Needs a New Pair of Shoes" is built from a few processed voice and percussion samples. In the beginning, you hear a voice that slowly melts into the drone, warping the tonal center along the way. DePlonty's "The Rolling Sea" is a set of ambient variations on a theme by Tim Risher. The theme, heard at the end, is a short passage for oboe and piano from Risher's chamber piece "Das Wogende Meer". "The Detail of Little Events" gets its title from a quote by Edward Gibbon, and uses throughout text from his "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" (performed by a computer voice). "How Dogs Think" is built from many layers, over a tonal drone. Everything is soft, so close listening is needed to hear the way the layers intersect, as they fade in and out of the texture.

You can also have this album in the form of a round plastic object, with case and artwork, here: kunaki.com/sales.asp?PID=PX00Z7LVA8
