Tetsu Inoue - Waterloo Terminal
Compared to Fragment Dots and Psycho-Acoustic, the two Tzadik albums I’m more familiar with, Waterloo Terminal is like a field recording.
Imagine two computers, A and B. Drop computer A down a flight of stairs. Now, imagine a microphone in the stairwell. Split the signal of the microphone, record it into computer A, falling down a flight of stairs, and into computer B, safely stored on a cart without wheels at the top of the stairwell.
Now, here’s the important part. Drop each computer, that’s right, both A and B, down the stairs. While they are falling, have them play the audio files from step 1. Waterloo Terminal is what you hear from computer B, and the Tzadik albums are what you hear from computer A.
