O'ROURKE, JIM - TO MAGNETIZE MONEY AND CATCH A ROVING EYE (4CD)

"A 4-hour work recorded at Steamroom (composer's studio) between 2017 and 2018. Detailed and delicate electronic layers, processed instruments, and ambiguous field recordings come together in a slow-moving, fascinating kaleidoscope with multiple reflections and wrong turns, always in constant state of flux. The finely crafted art of subterfuge. "To magnetize money and catch a roving eye", four CD's - a hypnotic, multi-faceted, labyrinthine piece which flows as slowly as a river while speeding back through memory, and shows all the talent of Jim O'Rourke. Composer, performer, multi-instrumentalist, born in Chicago in 1969, Jim O' Rourke is a veritable chameleon, working at the frontiers of very diverse musical genres." (label info)
