Gears of Sand (Gos) Recordings was launched by Ben Fleury-Steiner in 2001 originally as a philosophy (inspired by John Cage, LaMonte Young & Tetsu Inoue, among others) as well as a platform for his own musical experiments. By 2004, after "meeting" (via the Internet) a community of artists who shared his love for drone, noise, textural ambience, and other unclassifiable experimental musics, Fleury-Steiner decided to transform GoS into a vehicle for releasing works of artists he came to admire, establishing the GoS ethos as based on aural explorations without boundaries, encompassing the phrase "sounds of impermanence." In the last few years GoS has issued over 50 releases by artists from more than a half-dozen countries from around the world.
Stylistically, the label’s releases expose quite a cornucopia of genre; there’s a bunch of talented folks at work here, and virtually the entire catalog offers a splendid sampling of gauzily atmospheric, aurally tantalizing noises. We invite you to witness three of GoS's finest tickling the senses in varying ways and perhaps in varying combinations: whether it's in tandem with Fleury-Steiner's mbira-derived drones, William Fields's mutant ambient glitch fantasies or Mikronesia's delicately-balanced software drift, their respective Gears should mesh beautifully in the OTP listening space.
