Description

Pict.soul documents the first meeting between Tetsu Inoue and Carl Stone-two giants in the experimental, ambient, and post-ambient world. While their separate careers as artists each have their own unique trajectories, pict.soul develops from the possibilities for idiosyncrasy offered by the Max/MSP programming and performance environment combined with both artists' commitment to rigorously and beautifully crafted audio work.

As is always the case with Inoue and Stone, their source materials remain mysterious, identifiable for fleeting instants. The precise nature of the collaborations for each of the ten pieces on pict.soul is equally mysterious. Listeners familiar with Carl Stone's work will recognize his unique stamp on pieces like @.fine and (.ram, while fans of Tetsu Inoue's post ambient work will feel right at home with %.disc and .bit. In between, there is a world of pieces whose intermingled influence will vex and delight the serious trainspotter for either of the two artists. And, like any good collaboration, pict.soul ventures to places where the individual artists might not visit while travelling solo.
