Synopsis

Album Description

"Flynt sure is one inspired performer. His plaintive lines emulate the microtonal charm of the sitar to a surprising extent." -- All Music Guide Henry Flynt is a seasoned tourist of The World of the Other Ear, and C Tune is his ringing, psychedelic meditation on/from the cosmos. Call it a sonic postcard, or call it late-night head music, or even call it ecstatic minimalism if you have to. On this 47+-minute foray, our man Flynt takes his electrified fiddle and blends droning sonic calisthenics with lonesome swing melodies and high-decibel screech with the somnambulistic playing of his expat mathematician pal Mr/Mrs. C.C. Hennix on Pran Nath Tamboura. Recorded in 1980 in an undisclosed pocket of the galaxy and now available for blissful consumption. 2008 limited release of this drone classic originally released in 2001.
