Not sure that this is a good translation but it certainly is funny!  

Incidental Amplifications, amplified musics according to the hazards of the market, other definition of the field recording, on the whole. Be fourteen pieces here collected by Lawrence English and Lloyd Brisbane.

The compilation revolves around the sound incidentel, and constructs itself around a reflection non-théorisée (one always is in position : this is the clean one field recording, in a way) on the surgissement of the unexpected foreign sound or undesirable: this that records each of the fourteen here present artists, this fragments of his potentially subjected to the social check: all define a type of sort inaudible, integrated to the newspaper, airport to the road circulation.

Has side of the environmental sound and / or incidentel, the central one, although unformulated concept, the one of muzak, of George Squier. C'est-à-dire all the forms of become musics noises, elevator musics, of supermarkets, music of your neighbor that has no taste, mood musics, furniture music (said Satie), expectation music, all music sort of usage or of para-usage, of parasitage also, that are not musics of listens. In a paradox sort again inherent to the field recording (to inform a sound, a space, is this to compose?), this compilation gives again the possibility to do a listens of these musics utilitaires or parasitaires, of their reconférer an intransitivity, the wantonness that will define them as music: to exempt the usage music, on the whole, to free it.

And of fact, Incidental Amplifications remains before all a space of listens where can be held in check checks it social of the noise: a breathing zone. In spite of the a little opaque and abstruse character of the disc, this is a fascinating reflection on the statute of the sound that draws here some watermarks.

Thanks Mathias!
