Artist description Eric Richards has said that he believes the most characteristic American music, literature and art has been distinguished by a "freshness of vision begetting new ways to record and reproduce that vision…." The pieces recorded here exemplify Richards' own freshness of aural vision, his highly original compositional procedures and his ardent obsession with the physical reality of sound. Built up through repetition and superimposition, the soundscapes created in these pieces indeed transcend their origins.
