An astonishing, spontaneous and occasionaly harrowing electric pan-musical blend balancing the cerebral with a chaotic stream-of-consciousness. Think of an improvisational intersection between extremely varied sources: Eno, Zappa’s instrumental works, Jon Hassell, Morton Subotnick, Keith Jarrett’s solo piano improvisations, Conlon Nancarrow, progressive rock bands of the 1970s, excursions into the wilderness, Edgar Varese, animal sounds, his kitchen sink, Martin Denny, various world music (India, Bali, West Africa, Japan, Middle East), Chaos theory, and urban noise such as burglar alarms, noisy neighbors, cars blaring rap beats, etc. All the music on THE PLURAL OF HEAR is composed, performed and recorded by Tim Song Jones between 1987 and 1994.
