IMPERMANENCE - ARITO


Impermanence is a collaboration between Chris Mansel and Jake Berry. For their first album, Arito, Mansel  sent Berry a set of core tracks composed of layers of sound, music and noise along with brief recordings of Mansel reading his poetry. Berry added various instruments including guitar, bass, keyboards, and percussion. After passing mixes of the tracks back and forth until both members of the band were satisfied with the results they were mastered at 9th Street Laboratories. The cover art is from a painting by Carrie Mansel. The album can be downloaded free at the Impermanence page at LastFM. Click here to go to the page.
