TV Pow is a trio of composers and free improvisers first
organized in Tokyo 1995 by Michael Hartman and Brent Gutzeit, and later
joined by Todd Carter in the move to Chicago in 1996. They employ
samplers, percussion, invented instruments, synthesizers, turntables,
tape manipulation, computers and multi-speaker surround-sound systems
in a constantly evolving soundscape of sparkling electronics, ambient
drones, minimalist techno, and cinematic field recordings. Creating
through live performance something both new and recombinant, TV Pow has
toured throughout Japan, Europe, and the United States.*
"Busking for gas money"
album was recorded during the live tour. Each track is titled with the
initials of the composer (MH
is Michael Hartman, etc).
This is a well-balanced piece of beautiful, stable minimal ambient,
with a distant field recordings and microwave sounds. A nice album of a
high quality experimental music from very experienced composers.
