Davet Simon is a Drone Music studio project using the sound of glass. Wine glasses rubbed at the rim, glass bowls struck with soft mallets and bottles blown across the opening provide pure, ringing tones that are sampled and sustained electronically.
The pieces layer these sources into clear, high chords with long, overlapping decays. The sound is fragile and luminous, with small pitch wavers from the original recordings left intact. A quiet listening environment helps, since the material is delicate, and headphones bring out the fine shimmer of the upper partials.
