Omg, thank you to whoever here that recommended David Toop's "Ocean of Sound" (subtitle: "Ambient sound and radical listening in the age of communication") to me. Just started, and it's exactly what I want to read!

Apparently 3 companion compilation CDs were also put out to listen along, they look great, might need to find copies...

In May 2021 I posted Perfumes on Youtube. Heavily inspired by the book Ocean of Sound (David Toop) I recorded a suite of 6 modular ambient tracks inspired in gamelan music from Java & Bali.
In my head this was like releasing an ep.
I loved the sentence: "Music being able to adjust to several levels of auditive attention, being ignored and interesting at the same time"

Play!!

The Shell That Speaks The Sea | #DavidToop & #LawrenceEnglish | Room40-In a decidedly different sonic space than Rancid I’m excited to see what these two masters of smaller sounds bring. I know it will be excellent as every Room 40 releases is a high quality one. https://room40.bandcamp.com/album/the-shell-that-speaks-the-sea
