one-minute vacations

Many thanks to Aaron Xim of quietamerican.org for identifying the Yes album I'd mentioned in yesterday's entry.

Please stop over for a listen to quietamerican's collection of one-minute vacations. In Aaron's words: "One-minute vacations are unedited recordings of somewhere, somewhen. Sixty seconds of something else. Sixty seconds to be someone else." Aaron's unique project constitutes a point of disarming stillness and modesty amidst the web's clash of voices competing for attention.

For those in the San Francisco Bay Area, quietamerican also hosts a sound art concert series, field effects which recently featured (a full-length performance of) Lief Inge's 24-hour expansion of Beethoven's Ninth, 9 Beet Stretch.
