This album is all based on the sounds of the ratchet, a percussion instrument that is also sometimes a children's toy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratchet_(instrument) It is wildly experimental and also surprisingly musical. Amirkhanian is a percussionist and his compositions are usually Text Sound Poetry. This album uses those techniques applied to a percussion instrument and some collaboration with other instrumentalists. It really shows that 'tape music' techniques still have a lot of life in them. It is super interesting. Ratchet Attach It from Charles Amirkhanian https://othermindsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ratchet-attach-it
