In some forest outside of Portland, Maine, Angus Maclaurin, a music teacher and a particularly strange fellow, recorded an album in the basement of his log cabin. The album is called Glass Music, and it is, befittingly, an ambient work in which, save for one or two tracks, Maclaurin uses strictly glass as his instrument. I have no clue what he did to or with the glass, but the result is quite beautiful.
My initial reaction was that although the concept of the album sounded 'cool', upon actually listening I would find that the work would not transcend its gimmickry. I was wrong, however; the album is damn good. If you're into ambiance or long form experimentation, check it out and be wow-ed that you are listening to glass.
