steve roden / in be tween noise – every color moving (1988-2003) 6 CDs box set
“Every Color Moving” consists of 6 discs, covering 7 hours of the 15 first years of Steve Roden musical activities. The first 4 discs contain unreleased works and impossible to find small editions. The last 2 discs offer a selection of tracks made for compilations during the same period. From the surprising early experiments to the development of his often imitated but never equalled ‘lowercase’ aesthetic, these are some of Roden’s earliest works, documenting numerous rare and unreleased recordings.
The discs are accompanied with a 32 page booklet with an essay and extended track notes, written by the artist.
