Album Review
Stuart Dempster is a bold performer; his collaborations with Pauline Oliveros are legendary. In the Great Abbey of Clement features Dempster performing on trombones, didgeridoos, and plastic sewer pipes. Using the acoustics of the abbey as part of the processing, he creates vast minimalist atmospheres and huge walls of sound. He uses computers and high-tech mics and boards to enhance the process. The sound design is meticulous and the performance is flawless. Dempster's engineering and mixing expertise are important facets of the soundscape. This is a very deep disc with complete individuality. It will appeal to fans of Oliveros, Jeff Greinke, Brian Eno, David Borden, and Robert Scott Thompson.
Customer Reviews
beautiful music
Greatness. Stillness. Intensity. There are few things both more relaxing and inspiring than this recording by Stuart Dempster. Imagine listening to this while laying on the floor of the Abbey itself, allowing the tones to flow around you. If I had a plane ticket, maybe I could give it a try. For now, I have this and a pair of headphones and it's pretty awesome.
