RELEASE DATE

First vinyl release of
Kiribati
, the first installment in the acclaimed
Ambient Exotica Soundscapes
series by veteran English experimentalist
Mike Cooper
. Mastered and cut by
Rashad Becker
at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Edition of 500. "This was the first release on my Hipshot c.d.r label in 1999. I wanted to create an album of imaginary soundscapes from imagined exotic places based on my travels in the Pacific Islands and South East Asia.
Kiribati
was the first in a series of three CDs of
Ambient Exotica Soundscapes
-- played on lap steel, electronics, prepared guitar, sampler, live environmental recordings (from Bali, Malaysia, Australia and Italy) and acoustic and electronic percussion. (The other two are
Globe Notes
and my award winning
Rayon Hula
.)
Kiribati
was (and is) dedicated to the people and islands of Kiribati because they were slowly sinking into the Pacific Ocean. Although the palm trees are often 25 metres high, the islands themselves, made from gravel and sand, are only 4 or 5 metres above sea level and a rise in sea levels of just 15 centimetres, as has happened over the past 100 years due to global warming, is a disaster.
Kiribati
was recorded in my studio on a four track cassette, using a Casio SK1 sampling keyboard. A tool I used for many years both for recording and live sampling." --Mike Cooper
