OT -- New Steve Tibbets CD

[ArsOcarina@aol.com]

Hi all,

For those of you loop-folk who may like his stuff already,
my own copy of Steve Tibbett's new CD, "Man About a Horse"
came from Amazon.com today and is currently spinning
very, VERY loudly in the next room. 

The new CD is as quirky (alternately lush and then suddenly 
"gnarly") as the best of his previous work . . . IMOHO. But 
this time out he does some of his own percussion (along 
with the brilliant Marc Andeson and Marcus Wise). 

Still stubbornly mining away at the same general vein
of "Safe Journey" (a personal favorite) and "Exploded View"
(another fave) this new disc has moments of more fire 
and grit than either.

Tibbetts is a looper of long standing (at least as far as his live 
performance methods are concerned) but he's a "found sound" 
loop sampling fool too. Anywho, this one is another cool, weird
record from someone who has made many.

End of mini-review . . .

Best,

Ted Killian
