eD: First solo CD by John Young
New Zealand born John Young’s interest consist mainly in acousmatic music, particularly to the interactions between natural sounds and their digital counterparts. Whether it is the human breath or the sound of wind, the souvenir of a swing game or the sound of rain, his acoustic images serves as a springboard for more abstract associations and juxtapositions where sonic manipulation access its own realm of sensibility, while keeping a natural resonance, a subtle and human apprehension of the world by sound.
