Album Info

Release Date: 1990

Label: Elektra Nonesuch

"The first two parts of Three Penitential Visions, subtitled "Eberbach", were created almost entirely using the technique of multiple tape-looping and multi-track recording. All original sounds were recorded; no electronic (i.e., synthetic) sounds were used. The third part, "Fugitive Vision", employed several keyboard sources, including acoustic piano and analogue synthesizer.
Hidden Voices - minus the "live" soprano parts - was created using the processing resources of a digital sampler - Casio FZ-1. The original sounds were borrowed from old ethnographic recordings of Eastern European vocal laments."
-Ingram Marshal
