Tigerbeat6

• Includes four Quicktime music videos playable in Macs and PCs • A standout Tigerbeat6 release with wide appeal to fans of ambient and experimental music from labels like Mille Plateaux, Touch, and Mego  Originally intended to be the fifth Tigerbeat6 release, this compilation has been completed after more than three years. The compositions were created to induce trances, removed states of mind, and sleep. Avoiding his usual samples’n’rhythm schizophrenia Kid606 culls three guitar compositions from three years of recordings similar to his Why I Love Life EP and Mille Plateaux releases. The somber trilogy of songs by Stephan Mathieu aka Full Swing (who has remixed Yo La Tengo, Kit Clayton and Monolake, and received critical acclaimed for solo and collaborative work) are comfortable musical pillows. Ex-Ultra Vivid Scene frontman Kurt Ralske takes a break from his live visual work as part of 242 Pilots to provide the impressively desolate “Lilyguilding,” as well as four dreamlike Quicktime movies inspired by the project and its other musicians. Electric Company’s ethnically flavored, shifting, two-part composition hypnotizes and draws one away from one’s surroundings. Ambient/experimental laptop ambassador from Australia Pimmon, whose music was one of the main inspirations for the project, starts off disc two, while Tim Hecker aka Jetone (Force Inc., Alien8, Mille Plateaux) comes through with an ambient epic created out of digitally processed guitar and piano along the lines of his Haunt Me full length. Main (Robert Hampson from Loop) and Oren Ambarchi both use treated guitar to create unexpected, lengthy sonic environments.  Disc One Track Listing 1. Kid606 Enemic 2.
