Re: my2k review

Sounds very very cool. The title is very clever, too.

Subject: my2k review

For those interested, January's WIRE magazine contained this review of my
MY2K album (which contains lots of loops, among other stuff) ...


"Compiled from 366 ten-second pieces of music or field recordings (all of
which have been arranged into 53 weekly sections), Cologne musician Michael
Peters's absorbing and amusing recorded diary for the beginning of the new
millennium is packed with a wild mix of sounds, some treated by Peters to
produce a Zappaesque form of musique concrete. While some pieces are
self-explanatory (giveaway titles include "Sabine Writes With A Big Felt 
Pen
On A Large Sheet Of Paper"), others such as "Granulated Stone On Wood Like
Barking Dogs Over Linear Base Colors" only make sense once you actually 
hear
the item in question. Shades of John McLaughlin, Can and Frank Zappa flit
through the musical sections, but Peters's project has to be heard in its
entirety - if only to wait for track 53, which somehow manages to
regurgitate his entire recorded year in ten seconds flat."
