<H1>David Sylvian - Approaching Silence -- Discipline Global Mobile Shopping Cart</H1> <I>Recorded in London, England and Minneapolis, Minnesota between 1990 & 1994. ( Featuring Robert Fripp)</I> <P> <IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/dgm/images/coverart94.jpg" WIDTH=64 ALIGN=right ALT="David Sylvian - Approaching Silence" NAME="David Sylvian - Approaching Silence" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10> Personnel: David Sylvian (guitar, synthesizer, samples); Robert Fripp (guitar); Frank Perry (bells, bowed gong).<BR><BR>Originally conceived as music for multi-media installations, as an audio-only experience Sylvian's album provides us with a soporific dose of ambient sounds. The title track is made up of cyclical motifs of bells and sustained chords reverberating like ripples on a pond, punctuated by a rich gong-like guitar chord. This is suffused with hushed animal calls, fragments of fuzzy talk-radio programmes and the garbled falsetto of contributor Robert Fripp.<BR><BR>"Epiphany" takes sampled material of passing trains and hushed church bells and a plaintive human wailing phrase to make an all-too-brief interlude. Continuing in much the same atmospheric vein "The Beekeeper's Apprentice" is a summer doze in a wooded glade. Imagine chandeliers tinkling in the warm breeze and half-hear the faint sound of a distant civilisation. The hypnotic doze is peppered by shards of muted feedback buzzing in and out like an inquisitive bee, associating the music with its title. Bearing in mind this music was intended to accompany art installations it does work as an ambient album. <BR><BR>Track Listing: <BR>The Beekeeper's Apprentice<BR>Epiphany <BR>Approaching Silence <BR> <BR> <BR></P> <P> <LI>SKU: 9867 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Category44" TITLE="David Sylvian">David Sylvian</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/dgm/Product836 TITLE="Tilomo - Soft Lunch">Tilomo - Soft Lunch</A> -- Tim Motzer's guitar/laptop solo project. </P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/dgm" TITLE="Discipline Global Mobile Products">Discipline Global Mobile Products</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.dgmlive.com/shop.htm">Discipline Global Mobile</A> <BR>Discipline Global Mobile <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="ecommerce software">ecommerce software</A> powered by Nexternal
