I’m not
going to count how many Tanner Garza reviews I’ve done so far. I do know that this is my fourth cassette
tape of his, mainly because I can count the tapes as I have them stored away
for easy access to listen to again.
(There are the two in fancy packaging, “Lucid” and then this one)
But I
have been listening to Tanner Garza, and his various other projects, a lot via
download and I have been writing reviews even if they aren’t posted when you’re
reading this, but the thing is, I’m still not entirely sure how he makes the
noises that he makes.
I’ve
had a bad habit since I was a child of wanting to know how things worked. I remember taking my G.I. Joes apart with my
dad, just so we could see what was inside and then put them back together. As such, I have experimented with various
forms of music on my own (I had a guitar and drum machine in my youth, but now
have a keyboard and various other computer related instruments) but still
cannot figure out how this is being made.
It is
the soft whirr of a helicopter, only it is not as loud as you’d think. You know how helicopters have a very
distinct sound? Now, you know how car
engines sound? Well, imagine how a car
engine sounds compared to one of those engines that are supposed to be silent
because of the mechanics of it. Now
imagine a helicopter having that sort of silent but not completely silent sort
of sound to its blades propelling around.
Aside
from imagining this as being an instrument which rotates, I also think that
there is a greater rotation going on here, and no I don’t just mean because of
the earth on the whole. It is really
rather fascinating and spiritual in ways as well though to think about the
loops being within loops and all of that.
If
nothing else, this tape should enlighten you, perhaps help you to relax and
find peace. But this is the only tape
made for “Program Repeats” so you’ll have to download it. You can also be sure to award Mr. Garza some
of your money because this is certainly worth it.
