Tiny Sounds

by Matt Sommers

2005

Remembering that music could be created from almost any source inspired this effort. Each song came quickly and sounded different from the previous. Songs organically grow from nothing (Johnspencerdavis, Just Like That and Drum Test with Kitty).

A soundscape using only the contents of the junk drawer = techno?. Sure. How about an ode to a dam-building mammal?

Jeff Sample gave me a box of old weird cassettes. Snippets from those tapes appear throughout (Fools and Love Ya). One tape even contained Jeff's grandfather singing (The Land of the Cloudless Day).

Mix in various sound effects and a touch of humor and you have Tiny Sounds.

This collection began a four album streak of found sounds discovery.
