Jim O'Rourke: LONG NIGHT
long night, a 2½ hour electronic drone work produced by Jim O’Rourke in 1990 around the time of his graduation from music school, had been buried in the archives along with several other electronic music pieces Jim had created before he went about to explore other musical territories . . . unearthed, remastered and now released for the first time, its ageless qualities shine as brightly as ever.

slight vibration, as if the wind out of the west, playing upon it,
was causing it to vibrate along its entire length as a freestanding,
tapering, most unlikely violin string would vibrate to the bow. It
was not generally loud, although at times it became a little
