Review of Lapse in Perception


Listening to “Lapse in Perception” is a surreal auditory experience. It’s very much in the style of Ken Nordeen’s “Word Jazz” or some of the experimental things that NPR’s “Earplay” was doing back in the late 70’s. I can’t pretend to analyze the meaning of “Lapse in Perception”, but I do know that it is a sound composition that demonstrates some of the best of what is being done with sound on the radio today. I highly recommend auditioning this piece; even if you don’t air it (which I suggest you do) you will be richer for the experience.
