WESTBROOK - MIRROR VIEWS - CD

Ash International presents Mirror Views, a new long-form work from LA-based composer Byron Westbrook. While Westbrook's field recording process has been central for many years to both his composition and installation works, there has yet to be a major release showcasing this aspect of his artistic practice. Taking cues from Luc Ferarri and Maryanne Amacher, Mirror Views' four sections and 72 minutes unfold with patience, using the passage of time to create deeply immersive effects. Westbrook seamlessly blends cassette field recordings with "faked" synthesizer binaural environments created from noise and unstable tones. He animates phase relations between speakers to simulate listener movement, blurring what is a documented event vs electronic fabrication. This is a work that is only possible to reproduce on CD and digital formats. "In the crowded field of drone-based ambient composers, Los Angeles's Byron Westbrook stands as one of the most rigorous and interesting.
