BRET SCHNEIDER


Almost a full hour of mesmerizing (a polite way of saying "dizzying") sound manipulations. Taking found sounds and field recordings and reincarnating them is itself an art form, but on Model Of A Garden Scene..., Schneider has successfully digitally altered aural DNA to create an entirely new being. I find myself just staring at the speakers, not sure if I am more fascinated by what I've just heard or excited to hear what comes next. This defies categorization, but I would sooner file it amongst "art" than "noise," as these collages are every bit as enthralling as those put to canvas.

Physical copies still available from Avant Archive
