.bitÅ (2003). Carl Stone and Tetsu Inouye

Today, I have been listening to the music of electronic composer Carl Stone.  Chao Nue is a current favorite that I recommend.  I recently downloaded .bitÅ (MP3) but unlike Stone's classical deconstructions/reconstructions, this one is really "out there."  A  short track with intermittent electronic tones of various frequencies and timbre, it is either completely abstract or else it represents the aquatic and insect life of a pond (in the manner of Brian Eno's Ambient 4: On Land).  Stone collaborated with Tetse Inouye, a noted ambient experimental musician.

Postscript: This post gives me an opportunity to indulge my new-found interest in character sets and relate it the Alex Ross  request for a "blögôsphère" response to names for hipper-than-thou classical ensembles.  Not necessarily hip, my  list of possible ensemble names aims to get pop fans to respond to art music.  So here goes:

Carl and the Family Stone
The Al Hovhaness Experience
Life of Riley
The Allemande Brothers Band
Franz Ferdinand Schubert
Joan Tower of Power
The Adams Family of God
The Amy Beach Boys
Keb' Mo' Feldman
Lied Zeppelin

and my favorite: Crosby, Stills, Nash, and La Monte Young. (Hey, it could happen). 

Apologies to all. 

By the way, I suspect at least a few Led Zeppelin fans made the transition to reggae via Dread Zeppelin.  And here's a Family of God MP3.
