Tamtam’s “Rheingold†reviewed by The Sound Projector
Sam Auinger scored quite a hit with this writer in 2001, when he made Box 30/70 with Bruce Odland (appearing as O+A). I seem to recall they created a fascinating twist on the field recording genre with their innovative “boxâ€, which sits by a roadside and does unusual things to the sound of cars rushing past. This …
