James Ross / Jim Goodin / Joseph Benzola – Ross Drone: 2nd February 2014

Joseph Benzola is an electroacoustic composer, drummer and percussionist whose work I had the pleasure of reviewing on my old blog, but it’s time to catch up on his work.

He has been joined by James Ross, who composed this 33-minute track and plays guitar and electronics, and Jim Goodin, who adds viola and more electronics.

The track is excellent, and what impressed me most was the fact that it was a gentle wall of noise, reminding me of gamelan music somehow. It’s a rather elegant release for an experimental music recording.
