Stunning noise with vocals and tape loops
Ian William Craig is a classically schooled, Canadian composer/singer who creates the most stunning, gently crackling music with his voice and tape loops. After a silence of almost 18 months, on November 2 the man will be releasing a new album, Thresholder (on 130701, sublabel of FatCat). In the making of it, he was inspired by quantum mechanics, black holes and outer space.
