Search - Adam Schabtach :: Elephant Island

Elephant Island is Adam Schabtach?s debut solo CD. Like glacial ice, Elephant Island moves slowly, imperceptibly at times, but reveals shimmering layers and shifting details upon closer inspection. Both soothing and haunting, this CD is a suitable accompaniment for meditation, massage, thinking, reading, or simply being. Elephant Island was composed and recorded in one continuous improvisation. No later overdubs were added, and a minimum of editing was employed. A key component of this musical event was a custom audio software system which recreates the effects of long tape-loop delay systems employed by Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, and other ambient music pioneers. Adam Schabtach created the software used for Elephant Island, as a culmination of his long-standing interest in such systems.
