slow sound - the mindful practice of experimental music
and sound.
"millions of people suffer from various stages of tinnitus;
slow sound wishes to avoid contributing to this malady. at
the end of a slow sound concert, we want the audience to leave
with their minds ringing, not their ears." -excerpt from
slow sound [a manifesto by glenn bach]
slow sound is not a label, a band, or an artist. it is a philosophy,
an approach and a process. it's creators define it as "the
mindful practice of experimental music and sound." their
first ever "slow sound festival" was successfully
completed over a six-day stretch in long beach, california
this past september. a platform was given for those artists
who focus on quiet, lowercase, or otherwise low impact sound,
and for those “louder” artists willing to experiment
with quieter material.
output:NOISE recently experimented with
the slow sound concept, and will be releasing several tracks
on our upcoming release from a recording session which had
been directly inspired by this philosophy.
