Justin Bennett

I listened to Bennett's CD Noise Map today to get some more thoughts and ideas about how to represent field recordings and was quite taken with this.
It is not a CD I would say I like listening to, but I really like his use of processing. It is in-your-face stuff with all sorts of noises and sounds jumping at you from all angles. Some sound realistic, some sound processed and some are delightfully ambiguous. He makes no apparent attempt to smooth the pieces along and has no problem in rushing or dawdling the pace. A very stimulating sound work.
