Bell/Arch by Tom Challenger
Bell/Arch
A solo album of two sides. The first is 'Bell', a collage of ideas drawn together from various sonic sources, which also acts as the fixed media that underpins the solo, outdoor performance of 'Arch'. In this performance, the fixed media is heard internally, acting as an additional stimulus for the solo improvisation.
