This set began as a vamp on repeated phrases, but it casts a very wide net, extended tones into beats into samples into songs, blues songs, mashes, adagios, and more. I think of the Room itself as a field (that's why I use audio puns like crickets, the ocean, street sounds, even sexual sounds) and what feeds in and slides out as invasions. Avant garde is, after all, a military term. If you are reading this, it's for you. Be cautioned though, the Chill Room can be addictive.
