"In this course, we will look at ways of developing other modes of seeing – chief among them, the use of the Archive as both prompt and source material for new work."

'Marking 20 years of his Sustain-Release label, Richard Skelton's new album feels organic and quietly pastoral, conjuring mirages of landscapes both natural and surreal - a summation of two decades of work in atmospheric experimental music'

American Memory by Imperial Valley cassette.
New Imperial Valley:
“Like Terrence Malick’s ‘Days of Heaven’ soundtracked by Dylan Carlson or ‘Dead Man’-era Neil Young. Each sound is given time to evolve before it withers, and taken as a whole, ‘American Memory’ is a poignant, sobering listening experience.”

Richard Skelton's latest Imperial Valley volume proposes an alternate reading of US musical history, soundtracking memory holes and totalitarian creep with blown-out bluesy post-rock, sandy drones, field recordings and public domain excerpts.
