Wig has a grasp on the world of sound like no other artist recording today. Subtle and thoughtful interplay of electronics and manipulated sound sources are his trademarks, yet each recording he sends is richly rewarding for its precarious balance of tone, timbre and pacing. (Wig also appears on the AIR series among others).<br /><br /><b>Upper Minóy</b> is a work completed in June 1990 and it features a long and lush piece by John which incorporates my vocal excursions from "Minóy Mantra." It melds into his work surprisingly well. This was recorded in 1988. To finish this tape I made a four track recording using "Fresh Wig" (brand new sound sources from 5/90) and "Minóy Guitar Sources" (from 4/90). The recording is beautifully haunting.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21403365-113807138665937977?l=zhwig.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Zan Hoffmannoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21403365.post-1138071321514857802006-01-23T18:54:00.000-08:002006-01-23T18:55:21.516-08:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/1600/254.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/320/254.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#666666;"><strong>Wig Opus</strong> combines various source sounds and unfinished recordings that he has sent me since 1984. The result is an interweaving of different stages of John's continuing development. Volume three adds music and sounds from Tuf to the mix.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21403365-113807132151485780?l=zhwig.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Zan Hoffmannoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21403365.post-1138071245072882782006-01-23T18:53:00.000-08:002006-01-23T18:54:05.073-08:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/1600/255.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/320/255.jpg" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21403365-113807124507288278?l=zhwig.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Zan Hoffmannoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21403365.post-1138071196627957282006-01-23T18:52:00.000-08:002006-01-23T18:53:16.633-08:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/1600/256.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6564/194/320/256.jpg" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21403365-113807119662795728?l=zhwig.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Zan Hoffmannoreply@blogger.com0
