The hours of obsessive experimentation with raw sound (both acoustic and electronic, meticulously arranged and fortuitously captured) that Rrill Bell has dubbed to countless compact cassette tapes over the course of nearly two decades serve as the underlying otherworld behind the contingent worldly manifestations of his performances, installations and recorded artifacts. On stage, his freeform, improvised live sets, drawing on the formative inspirations of radical scratch culture, Cagean thought, early tape music, musique concrete and various strains of free music practice, combine chance practices and new skillz in a deep, essentially duo-like dialogue with the tightly-wound material as continually re-examined from different angles. Over the past decade, his practice has also expanded to include various hybrid approaches to location recording, augmented reality, composition and audio narrative.
