Gritty Drones, Urban Rhythms
August 24th, 2009 by admin
Musician mystified decided to flirt a little with modern urban audiences. Not to “sell out”, per se, or even to attempt to, say, “rap”, but to remix some gritty drones, adding rhythmic structures. This is the slightly industrial sound of cities– tones for threading between skyscrapers and through overpasses and parking garages.

Mister Vapor’s “Rain 1″
Thomas Park’s newest recording project, Mister Vapor, debuts on Webbed Hand with a contribution to the Rain collection of long-form ambient.
Rain is a series of conceptual tracks produced for Webbed Hand Records. Each Rain is a CD-length ambient recording ideal for quiet listening while meditating, writing, or going to sleep. Typically the recordings in this series are minimalistic soundscapes, with motifs played out cyclically rather than progressively, in order to induce relaxed states.
