about

Tom Djll studied electronic music with Stephen Scott at the Colorado College, working with the EMS Synthi 100. He spent 1981-1993 working with the Serge Modular Music System (SERGE WORKS published by Other Minds’ Modern Hits netlabel, 2018) before enrolling in Mills College Contemporary Music Program, where he extended his quest to develop and integrate an idiosyncratic trumpet language into electronic sound worlds. He resides in California.

lyrics

« These pieces are all very recent, and are the result of improvisational approaches to a new instrument I put together over the last year or so. It is a 3-tiered XL-boat Serge system built mostly from Random Source components, including a TKB, a Mantra, and an Edelweiss Mk 1. Also heard are Hordijk and Bug Brand instruments. “Krell 1” has the live addition of vibraphone sounds. All pieces are single-track stereo takes.
I am of one mind with Serge when it comes to ‘letting the circuits speak for themselves,’ rather than putting together Bach preludes or visionary math-rock or whatever, although my open-ended, polyrhythmic sound constructions might suggest a kind of electronic free jazz. »

The album which first introduced me to ambient, although not the first one I owned... an experience that is both wistful and soothing, never too dark yet not suited to being described as joyful. One of Hainbach's finest works. Dimitriy Dzyuba

Perceptual Geography
by Thomas Ankersmit

supported by 70 fans who also own “they're getting away !”

Completely amazing, singular work of art from a modern master of the Serge system. In a time when modular has become shorthand for self-generating prog patches Perceptual Geography presents a diorama of voltages - land, sea and time all narrated by the crackling of electricity. killtime
