about

Notice’s own resident artist returns with his second solo tape. The Tea Merchant and His Atmospheres is a fully realized and very personal work of minimal, expressionist sound art that incorporates elements from the artist’s life, including field recordings from his home and travels, as well as layers of at-home processing, including the use of radio static, room tone, and cassettes that he’s developed as half of Dense Reduction. Minimal yet highly textured sound environments run up against each other loftily like waves against foreign shores. As the pieces deepen over the course of each side, Lindorff-Ellery unfolds the mysterious connections that make up a sense of home, a sense of self. Non-narrative, nonrepresentational, closely observed, and resolutely analog. Through the unique use of these elements, Lindorff-Ellery is mapping his life and environments in a compelling way.
