“The Sound of the Earth I” brings to mind David Sylvian’s post-Japan near ambient instrumental excursions where space and pause became as integral to the “composition as place” as his trusty Prophet 5.

Dalla superficie forata e dal feel, risposta e definizione della campana tipica dei piatti tradizionali, i piatti della casa canadese sono stati pensati per le session che necessitano di volumi bassi.
