another project
SOUNS is an "ambient/etc." project from Michael Red. The words "ambient/etc." are used to describe sounds ranging from hyper-minimal tones and pure textures up to soundscapes supported by dub bass-lines and quiet rhythms. Souns takes roots in the elemental songs of water, wood, wind, fire, metal, dreamtime and the unseen world. The message is of light and evolution.
Souns live performances weave pre-programmed structures with live looping and processing of bells, chimes, glockenspiel, trumpet, samples, the immediate environment, found objects, field recordings, static and hiss. There is a heavy improvisational element to Souns live and recorded works, largely guided by an emptied mind and an open channel.
