DEVIL'S MUSIC, CD&CDROM by NICOLAS COLLINS

Amazing sounds from Nicolas Collins -- an artist who plays the radio in ways that most other folks might play a keyboard or guitar! "Devils Music" is a wonderful experiment from the mid 80s -- one in which Collins takes sounds from the radio, then filters them into newly musical modes -- reshaping the noise and static into these surprisingly great waves of sound -- sometimes bold and rhythmic, other times more gentle and flowing -- but always compelling throughout! There's a lot of looping going on in the process, so there's elements of minimalism at play -- some phase shifting that really opens up the source sounds a lot more than you'd expect.
