"I was transfixed by the haunting sounds and the poetic pacing of Fahres' music on this CD. Rather than the sound floating through the room, it was as if I was floating in the sound." -- Morton Subotnick Michael Fahres, who studied composition with Louis Andriessen and Ton de Leeuw, is an award-winning composer of electro-acoustic soundscapes, as well as a radio & TV producer and director & programmer for various international music events. Features performance by popular jazz/new music trumpeter/composer Jon Hassell. Each of the compositions builds on source recordings from around the world--Lake Sevan (Armenia), El Hierro (Canary Islands), and Coimbra (Portugal). Title track produced and mixed by Michael Hoenig, a former member of the influential group Tangerine Dream and an Emmy-winning film and TV composer. Eight-page full-color booklet combines photos with interesting notes about the three geographical sites from which the works draw their source sounds.
