Snatch Tapes 2022

So it is round up time. It has been been a busy year for releases over at Snatch Tapes. 2022 started with the Passionate Particles CD released by Walter Robotka on Klanggalerie - a selection of tracks from the last twenty years. I thought this might introduce the Sanderson oeuvre to more people - It didn't but the CD had an upbeat review in Avant Weekly by Frans de Waard and got a few spins on WFMU and other fine radio stations. 
Undaunted by the slightly underwhelming response to the CD in Spring came the next Ice Yacht cassette Noisy Nylon limited to 30 copies - described by Keith Rodway as sounding more 'industrial' this turned out to be a stepping stone to doing more long form msuique concrete-is style work. The first manifestation of this was Redux a 30 minute reworking of Snatch Tapes material described by Eric Lanzillotta as being a little like Pierre Henry. Then came Lost With All Hands (the Legend of Goodwin Sands) an album of two 20 minute pieces. The title track was played by Carol Crow, Daniel Blumin and Tony Coulter at WFMU and was heard in one of the listening towers at the recent Sonic Cartogarphy conference at Chatham Dockyard. Then the Queen died and using a single bell toll as source material a 17 minute piece called The Ringing of a Bell was conjured. Lastly there was The Sunken Features of a Satellite - more long form soundscape that reworked the previous Pillbox release.
