Editorial Reviews
The Village Voice
". . . her 'sound art' . . . is celestial in its implications and down to earth in its reverence for everyday noises."

--Kyle Gann

Album Description
Ellen Band’s work lies in the path it takes, leading one from listening to recordings of natural sounds to, before one knows it, being immersed in a dense and complex field of sound which, though built completely from natural elements, is something quite transcendent and otherworldly.

Band’s music seduces us into perceiving the sensuous properties of familiar sounds by building dense and complex sound environments out of these elements. By sheer sensory density we are brought face-to-face with the physical, vibrational reality of sounds, bringing us to a state of attention to what we perhaps have lazily ignored through over-familiarity.
