Various Artists - The Other #2 (1984)
Listen/purchase: Ancient Machines by Forrest Fang
The scene of ambient music in the USA is more vibrant than you could have assumed. A multitude of labels releases the works of such players and one of the latter is definitely Forrest Fang, who remains heavily underappreciated. His idiom mixes the electronic sounds with the ethnic tones into an incredible aural melange that feels different from most of his peers in the America. While his pieces do contain the airiness of his contemporaries within the country, he grounds them with the real instruments. To be honest, he's one of the more interesting ones of the brand, since he makes his own influences more woven in the fabric of his style. Sure, you can pinpoint them, but he uses them as a basis for his further developments.

Treetrunk Records are honored to present an amazing EP of generative music and soundscapes by esteemed artist Forrest Fang. This release was reserved as Treetrunk 200. Those who were waiting for number 200 won't be disappointed, we promise. “This EP is intended to complement the Summer 2012 release of my Projekt CD, ‘Animism.’ These pieces are examples of algorithmic and fractal sketches that I often use as ‘seed’ material for more detailed and extended pieces. ‘Prism,’ ‘In the Serene,’ and ‘Early Rain’ were recorded this past year while I was working on and finishing up ‘Animism.’ ‘Kepler’ and ‘Wildlife’ date back to the late 90s, during the time I was recording what would later become my first Projekt CD, ‘Gongland.’ This release is dedicated to my past and present friends in the algorithmic and fractal music scene, including Dave Strohbeen, Yan Terrien, Phil Jackson, John Dunn and the late Tim Conrardy. Special thanks to Thomas Park for graciously providing a home for this release and to photographer Mark Mushet for the cover art.”– Forrest Fang, 2012
