Ken Field
Subterranea
14.99
This was recorded in several underground rooms in Roswell, New Mexico. Ken Field, a member of Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, has composed eleven tracks ranging from overdubbed saxophones, 'sticks on juice cans, sticks on suitcase', and lots of percussion. The music is improvised music, but not in the traditional jazz sense of solos over chord changes. Field has stated, "Each track is a spontaneous response to the previously recorded tracks with no preconception at the outset of the final outcome."
The pieces range from the melancholy Five Saxophones in Search of Meaning to the roaring Om On the Range and the rather insane Sanity - all captured with the special ambiance, resonance and gleam of the underground space.

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
