Gall Tones: Digitales Album von Carl Stone

Unseen Worlds bringen ein neues digitales Album des Komponisten und Pop-Transformierers Carl Stone heraus, sein Titel “Gall Tones” ist ein Wortspiel mit Gall Stones und referiert auf eine medizinische Behandlung des Musikers in einem Tokyoer Krankenhaus, während der tatsächlich fast alle Tracks entstanden sind. Das ALbum erscheint mit Artwork von Tim Lahan.

“With the exception of “Sumiya”, all tracks on this album were recorded in the first week of November 2021 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Hospital, where Carl Stone was confined due to complications from a gallstone attack – hence the album title. Carl is not the first to discover that the tedium of a hospital stay can be greatly relieved by concentrated musical activity (c.f. J. Dilla, Brian Eno and others). Surreptitious delivery of his laptop (outside goods were banned because of COVID-19 restrictions) and the enabling of internet access allowed work to begin. The tracks were created with the MAX programming language and composed using headphones, which are recommended for listening. “Sumiya” was recorded at in the studios of Radio Free Nakano, February 2021, under normal health conditions.” (Unseen Worlds)
