Alan Lamb
Night Passage
Boomkat Product Review:
Room40 handles the remastered reissue of Alan Lamb's foundational eighties-recorded 'Night Passage', an album of otherworldly resonances he mostly extracted from his "Faraway Wind Organ" - ten miles of telegraph wires that he turned into an instrument.
Aussie sound artist and sculptor Lamb is best known for his use of Aeolian harps - gigantic string instruments that are played by the wind itself. He demonstrated this vividly on 1995's 'Primal Image', but its follow-up 'Night Passage' might be even more startling. The side-long title track demonstrates the chilling power of the Faraway Wind Organ as gusts catch the stretched-out strings and Lamb lets the space create its own tonalities. It's deceptively simple material that's influenced countless environmental ambient records, but trust us when we say that this was the first - if you've heard François Tétaz's blood-curdling 'Wolf Creek' soundtrack, then here's the reminder that Lamb provided the source material.
Essential.
