Carl Stone: Woo Lae Oak (1981) - Unseen Worlds UW 03 (2008)

Named after a chain of Korean restaurants, and one in particular in Los Angeles, Woo Lae Oak is a continuous electronic work crafted out of loops of the sound of a rubbed string and a bottle played by blowing air over the top. Created at the studios of Cal Arts, it was released in 1982 and has been long out of print. Unseen Worlds has just reissued it, all 54 minutes, in a bright digital remaster.

Carl explains that listening to his piece is like looking at a clock — you only notice movement when you look away and then look back and notice that somethings have changed.

The composer recommends that you not play this too loud .. it should be soft and in the background.
