The exceptional work of David Toop on sound history travels from the Amazon rainforests to the metropolis of Tokyo, through the works of artists such as Brian Eno, Sun Ra, Erik Satie, Kate Bush, Kraftwerk, and Brian Wilson.
Starting in 1889 in Paris, when Debussy first heard Javanese music, Ocean of Sound channels the competing trends of 20th-century music into a refreshing and innovative narrative of atmospheric music.
A meditative approach to the development of contemporary music, there is no single term that fully describes what Toop has achieved... combining interviews, criticism, history, and memory, Toop effortlessly moves between sounds, styles, genres, and eras.
