Spyra – Phonehead (CD)

Description

Starting with a sound that could be connected with melodic FAX Hard Trance of the old days, Spyra goes deeper into the fields of Ambient-Environmental music. Spyra’s music is often performed with custom-built instruments such as the “Triangle Pads” and the “Elektrolyra”, and consists of diverse sound sculptures (“sound-sheets”).Of course, Spyra is not your typical electronic musician–he was originally a performance artist who was a part of Documenta IX (1992) with his work “Panakustikum”, as well as Documenta X (1997) with his work “My Little Garden of Sounds”, wherein visitors were connected to P.A.S.S. (Portable Ambient Sound System) to perceive the natural environment in a processed way.
