about

The first commercial release from sound artist Ben Glas, Music For An Empty Space and A Full Mind is released alongside an exhibition of the same title, showing at One Grand Gallery, Portland, OR.

Inspired by La Monte Young’s Dreamhouse and Drift Study of 1968, Music For An Empty Space and A Full Mind consists of two, 20-minute compositions, both of which develop as the listener moves around, and interacts with the physical space that they currently inhabit.

Glas has collaborated with artist Tyler Snazelle on both the exhibition and album release. Snazelle has designed 10 unique artworks for this release, with only one copy of each available — EXTREMELY limited physical release.

“The compositions presented on this vinyl are experimental sonic works that question alternate modes of listening and experiencing. Utilizing space and focusing on the individual listener’s interaction, the sounds presented are relativistic to each individual and their movement through spacetime. Simply play the record and partake in experiential listening. In doing so, the space in which the physical record is played becomes a kind of installation, begging to be ephemerally composed with. As the individual listener moves through space, they notice fluctuations of the sound presented. The room itself becomes a score, each movement through space a movement within the music to be discovered. The phenomenon at play here is simply that of acoustic beating and standing waves that lend themselves to be manipulated and played with by one’s personal psychoacoustic and physical mass in space.”
— Ben Glas
