B°tong_monastic

B°TONG is Chris Sigdell, former member of German experimental industrial group NID (1995 - 2005). With B°TONG he reaches for the nether regions of experimental ambient sound and established himself as an acknowledged professional soundscape artist. Produced between 2012 & 2016 and based on field-recordings done at Landbouwbelang, Maastricht (NL), ”Monastic” is a configuration of field-recordings that Chris Sigdell recorded together with his companions Benny Braaten and Bertrand Gaude in 2010, while having a day off on tour. In the hands of Chris Sigdell ”Monastic” forms spooky and disturbing waves of sound, dripping carelessly down the spine, crushing rocks. Don’t listen properly, behave inaccurate. Don’t be obnoxious, be quiet and feel the concrete.
