...I just listened to his "Mantra" piece again (all of whose sounds come from a live recording of a Zamboni machine and its microtonal fluctuations) and am just amazed at this guy's work. He has another piece called "Electro-Prana" that was composed on an organ made from miscellaneous car, boat, truck, and other electric horns played in a gigantically cavernous warehouse- again, amazing. The sense of space suggested by both of these pieces is something you have to experience to understand.

Anybody else familiar with him?
