"One of the early developers of computer music with Max Matthews at Bell Laboratories and at IRCAM in Paris. Exquisite textures in an aural space that constantly changes it dimensions...soft velvet to digital glacier edges to the ringing of huge bells after they are struck.."Sud" is filled with electronic tropical sounds and washes like extended raindrops and wind chimes...a delight to the ear."
