Abstractithica by Max Hall is more than an album; it’s a sonic journey that borders on the metaphysical. The record is comprised of one long atmospheric sound collage (split across both sides of the LP) that is entirely built out of samples taken from around the world on a stereo field recorder over the spanContinue reading “Max Hall- Abstractithica [Sound Collage/Field Recording/Experimental]”
