steve ball: "the airport exercise"

from guitarist steve ball comes "the airport exercise": a stunning piece of music featuring the work of steve, robert fripp, tony levin, pat mastelotto, j.g. bennett, and david lavallee.

this track is very generously provided by steve as a taste of what you will find sometime in summer of this year when "steve ball sketch box" is released to an unsuspecting public.

from the opening soundscapes over which the words of john godolphin bennett arc with an even more pertinent sense of insightful clarity than when they were first spoken, through to the detailed guitar playing of steve, you will find this a compelling and challenging piece of music worthy of attention beyond merely listening. i can hardly wait to hear the remaining pieces of music that steve will include in what promises to be a powerful release.
