Scotland's Andrew Howie releases 60-minute "I Can Sing A Rainbow"
SCOTTISH musician Andrew
Howie has released "I Can Sing A Rainbow". He explained, "This
60-minute ambient piece was originally released as a free gift for
anyone who bought 'The Quiet In The Land', a noisy electronic record I
released under the name Calamateur in 2011. This new version has been
tweaked and re-mixed at home, then lovingly re-mastered by Steve
Lawson. The piece is comprised of seven musical phrases (one for each
colour of the rainbow) which repeat at mathematically pre-determined
points throughout the song's one-hour duration, often overlapping in
unforeseen and fortuitous ways. These seven phrases play out over a
background of ever-evolving noises that represent the earth's
elements."
