...according to our Phil on 22 October 2009.

We got a new CD on the Experimedia label by Offthesky and Billy Gomberg. Flyover Sound is a joint collaborative thing comprising weird (yet beautiful) drones, some acoustic guitars, field recordings and some glitchyness thrown in for good measure. They've created some pretty soundscapes which are complex yet easy on the ear. There's plenty going on in there and I reckon if you spent a good hour listening to this with some headphones chonged off your face your head would explode. I always think making things complex and beautiful is a tricky thing to do but they've managed to create something rather special here. There's some complex electronic sounding things in there which will appeal to fans of Machinefabriek yet there's some gorgeous ambience which for you Infraction heads out there. It's well nice!!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

//ABOUT.OFFTHESKY
(michael) jason corder began devising sonic schemes in the womb by performing on the uterus wall to cope with the intense darkness. he finally forged an escape plan in 1977 and upgraded his musical medium to a sterling kitchen floor kit. many years later during the dark ages of the 386/amiga, jason retired the cutlery to began forging into the vast void of 8bit tracking.

later he began his travels to countless electronic music events which catalysted him into a fertile pit of sonic clay. using adverse software such as buzz, jason began an evolution. though after realizing the creative short comings of purely digital creation, acoustics, space resonation, and concept became common place. instruments such as guitar, piano, sine waves, field-recordings and weather pattern data are mainstays for off the sky.

today jason resides in the city of denver, colorado and composes experimental electronic music in collaboration with other working musicians. occasionally, he still writes music for fetuses..
