Emanating from Vancouver BC, Anomalous Disturbances - aka Terry O'Brien - creates ambient soundscapes via electronically modified looping guitar improvisations.
ARCHIVE ONE is the third release from Anomalous Disturbances (June '04). This album is a collection of recordings made mostly from September to December of 2003 (trks 1-5 & 8), although included is "Creep" (trk 6), a recording from The Spirit Molecule sessions of late 2001 and one of Terry's earliest loop-based recordings, "Swamp Gas" (trk 7) from early 1987. Finishing up is a remix of "Blue Honey" (trk 9) - see The Spirit Molecule for the original version. The "Ancient Starship remix" is a radical deconstruction by Haven Siguenza and as with the original, features processed vocals chants by L.A. performance artist Anna Homler (Voices of Kwahn).
Track 4, "The Invisible Landscape" is also included on the PING AMBIENCE 2 compilation, which features performers from The Ambient Ping, Toronto's weekly live ambient/experimental music showcase. A. D. has performed several times at The Ambient Ping.
