’fall’ available for free download on bagatellen

“fall” achieves industrial ambiance through strings and whispers, and manages to confound a little. Eleven minutes of evolution is poised for at least another 20. Yet concision is eloquence, and “fall” is mighty effective in that regard. Vanessa’s Whoreson In the Wilderness gets regular play around here, so it’s extra nice to feature her music for “listen”.

Environmental recordings, viola, and cello; Recorded and mastered by Vanessa Rossetto, Austin, October 2008.
