Environmental sound artist, composer, author (on Harry Partch), filmmaker, designer, and sculptor Philip Blackburn’s music has been called trippy, hallucinatory, intense and riveting. Verging on transcendental, Music of Shadows contains three substantial works that are explorations of ways of listening as much as they are music in the usual sense. Blackburn’s sound world maps the inner ear to the outer world in stunningly imaginative and time-defying ways, leaving impressions and shadows in its wake.
