from various images by Ooy and myself, Michael Chocholak for The Taste of Metal from Segments, the second collaboration between myself and Ooy, electronic composer from Tokyo. We both contributed a number of short raw tracks to an audio 'tool box' which we then drew from and individually processed and mixed, each of us coming up with 30 minutes worth of tracks. The music of Segments is dedicated to our mutual friend and collaborator, Conrad Schnitzler (1937 - 2011). available from http://ginjoha.blogspot.com/2012/07/g...
a remix of some images from Segments plus some additions from both Ooy and myself for The Air and the Surface of Water . This was actually completed two weeks before the devastating March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan which makes some of the imagery all the more ominous. Dedicated to the people of Japan.

super-Ambient music Outtake of Segments - Michael Chocholak & Ooy
Michael Chocholak & Ooy - "Orbiting An Abyss" from the album "The Hadron Suite" 2010, Triple Bath http://www.triplebath.gr Michael Chocholak, electroacoustic composer from Oregon and Ooy, electronic composer from Tokyo and member of Conrad Schnitzler's reformed Kluster, exchanged, processed and arranged each other's raw material (samples and field recordings) into a series of compositions that grew and coalesced into "The Hadron Suite". The music, spanning 68 minutes, is varying between electroacoustic sci-fi drone and granular noise. The drive to know and understand the cosmos shines like a beacon as if from Plato's fifty six circulating crystal orbs down through the ages to be focused now by one huge spherical lens, a vacuum more perfect than outer space where fifty ton magnets cooled by liquid helium spin opposing orbits of Pandora's threads, revealing the birth of our universe and opening doors to other dimensions; the Large Hadron Collider. http://www.triplebath.gr/releases/trb...
