On this, his second album for Kranky, Gregg Kowalsky documents a full-length studio incarnation of the Tape Chants compositions and live installations that have been the focus of his work since shifting away from the digital realm following 2006's 'Through The Cardinal Window'. Using cassette players, tape loops, analogue synths, sine-wave oscillators and various acoustic instruments and sound sources he constructs a series of long, slowly-shifting drone pieces, with the warm ambient analogue fuzz underlayed with subtle rhythmic textures and amniotic pulses to create a beautiful lost-in-time other-world drift.'Tape Chants' is available now on Kranky.
