Music Inspired by Frippertronics
What is Frippertronics?
From Wikipedia:
Frippertronics (a term coined by Joanna Walton, Fripp's poet girlfriend in the late 1970s) is an analog delay system consisting of two reel-to-reel tape recorders situated side-by-side. The two machines are configured so that the tape travels from the supply reel of the first machine to the take-up reel of the second, thereby allowing sound recorded by the first machine to be played back some time later on the second. The audio of the second machine is routed back to the first, causing the delayed signal to repeat while new audio is mixed in with it. The amount of delay (usually 3 to 5 seconds) is controlled by increasing or reducing the distance between the machines.
Fripp used this technique to dynamically create recordings containing layer upon layer of electric guitar sounds in a real time fashion. An added advantage was that, by nature of the technique, the complete performances were recorded in their entirety on the original looped tape.

Ambient Fourth World Trombone Works
Ambient Fourth World Trombone Works
by Jeff BernhardtI don't know how I came across this, but of all the things that I have checked out on Internet Archive, this is one of the few pages I keep coming back to.
At first I thought this collection was a bit too much like Hassell's fourth world music (though I liked it instantly). However, the author is being quite upfront here about his influences, and he does a fine job of what he has set out to do.

Purpose of the Longer Shadows blog
The purpose of this blog is to create a place to embed music in one place that I wish to easily access. Perhaps the embedded music will be of interest to some others as well.
In addition I imagine that I will relate a few thoughts about music and will surely post a few pictures.
