this piece may be my new favourite piece. it is very minimal; very ambient, and in mood, it reminds me vaguely of one of Robert fripp’s early frippertronics pieces – because it’s a delay line, the tones pulse in a manner similar to a short loop, so it sounds a bit “frippertronics” – in fact, it very nearly got the sub-title “fripp in a box” but I felt that spoiled the title “delay line” – so I left out the sub-title this time.

understated, calm, pure, these sine-wave like tones drift and drift, sometimes separately, sometimes in harmony, at different points along a beautiful half-hour + ambient continuum, I could put this piece on repeat and listen to it all day long.

I do plan to do some duet versions, playing ebow guitar and/or ebow loops, along with some of the best mixtikl pieces, when I will be able to manage that, I am not quite sure, but when the time comes, this piece will be at the top of the list to play along with – what a perfect ambient backing to play live energy bow guitar over – it’s just beautiful, and I am very encouraged by this, because I think it shows that I am starting to understand what some of the best ways are to create really sparse, beautiful ambient music – and “delay line” is among the very best pieces to emerge so far…sigh.
