Scott Gibbons has been composing electronic music for nearly 20 years, with a two-fold exploration into the possibilities of natural acoustic sound on the one hand, and those of audio technology on the other. His compositions demonstrate an acute balance between delicacy and physicality, often focusing around frequencies that are at the outermost limits of human hearing, and embracing quietness as a central element. Cited by many as a seminal composer of micromusic and ambient 'isolationist' music, his early releases based only on the sound of stones and wind received praise from all over the world.
This recording is made exclusively with stones: stricken, smashed, grated, granite or clay - all voices are stone, the photographs reproduced here were produced by a process involving the progressive overexposure of a sculpture by Hubert Kiecol.

Hello,
Do you have any other releases from this artist? I've been searching for quite some time now but had no luck. If you could share some more, it would be great.

Olá ...
Só queria agradecer-lhe muito para carregar esta difícil de encontrar a liberação de Lilith ( "Pedra") para o blogspot. Obrigado!
O álbum de um único ... nada, mas o som da pedra sendo esmagado, quebrado, solo, raspadas, caiu, pulverizadas, etc, penso que este é um primeiro de seu tipo no que diz respeito a uma composição de áudio baseadas somente em rock verdadeiro "[literalmente]. ;-)
Cuide-se,

Hello ...
Just wanted to thank you VERY MUCH for uploading this hard-to-find release by Lilith ("Stone") to your blogspot. Thank you!
What a unique album ... nothing but the sound of stone being crushed, broken, ground, scraped, dropped, pulverized, etc. I think that this is a first of its kind with regard to an audio composition based solely upon true "rock music" [literally]. ;-)
Take care,
august242
