F Fang commented on Exuviae's blog post 'New Release - Intrinsic Luminance'April 28

Hi Brooks, Downloaded your new netrelease today and enjoyed it very much. Did you hear that it was inadvertently the subject of a "name that tune" search on the Hypnos board? Thanks for sharing it. Forrest

F Fang replied to rikm's discussion 'Wow, I wish I wrote that...'April 17

My "I wish I wrote that..." piece would have to be the title track to Yes' "Close to the Edge." Seemingly and impossibly complex, it has still always made sense to my ears, so much ao that every note seems to be exactly where it should be. It must...

F Fang replied to eyes cast down's discussion 'Homemade Samples'April 16

I don't use a lot of homemade samples these days, but years ago, had some fun slowing down the sounds of mundane things I had recorded, like tearing newspapers or banging on old stainless steel pots and pans. These days I've been subjecting some o...

F Fang replied to eyes cast down's discussion 'Music Shops in Chicago'April 16

When I lived in Chicago in the early 80s, the place to go was Wax Trax, off the Fullerton 'L' Stop near DePaul. I think they are long gone, though, since their label went belly up years ago. Forrest

This June, my next solo CD, "Phantoms" will be released on Projekt (www.projekt.com). It is a follow-up of sorts to my 2000 Projekt release, "Gongland," but also brings back some of the non-Western instruments present on my earlier releases for Cuneiform Records and Ominous Thud. My last album was the 2008 Hypnos Secret Sounds release, "Tones For La Monte," under the Sans Serif pseudonym.

The pieces, "Fractal Window II" and "Remembrance" are from a 1999 private release called "The Golden Bell" that was created for my family. I've also included a piece from my 2006 Foundry CD with guitarist Carl Weingarten, "Invisibility," a piece from my "Gongland" CD, and an unreleased live soundscape piece that I recorded in 2008 as "Sans Serif."

Hope you enjoy the sounds.

The CD should be out by mid-July. I'm very excited about this release, which is my first solo CD since 2000, excluding my Sans Serif side project of last year.
