Haswell & Hecker :: UPIC Diffusion Session #23 (Editions Mego)
UPIC Diffusion Session #23 begins with a cascade of glitchy static tones, each descending in pitch and rising in volume. They converge briefly around a central point, only to spiral down further as we begin to hear the distinct click of switches being flipped.

Heavenly Silences and Earthly Noise :: Drone and Ambient Guitar on Silent Records
Sometimes what comes in a flash unfolds over a long period of time. Such a flash came to Silent Records label founder Kim Cascone one winter night as a kid. “I remember sitting in a snowbank and looking up at the stars. I spotted the blue star in the Orion constellation and gazed at it for a long time. Suddenly I had a flash, like one of those speed-collages in a film where hundreds of events all race past in a split second. I call this ‘my download’ & have been unpacking its meaning ever since.”
