about

Colin Andrew Sheffield's "Moments Lost" is a standalone, 20-minute piece, issued here as a special edition minimax (partially metalized) compact disc.

The composition, which debuted at the Molten Plains festival in Denton, Texas in 2023 (and which was accompanied by a short film by Sheffield comprising recontextualized scenes from old movies), embodies Sheffield's signature approach to abstract plunderphonics. His audio collage work is focused on the use of samples: deconstructed loops of hidden melodies and textures found in his collection of physical media. These snatches of sound are edited and layered in harmony and/or at odds with one another, giving rise to the ethereal undercurrents inherent in his selections.

For "Moments Lost", Sheffield solely utilized samples (manipulated beyond identification) from assorted vintage soundtrack LPs to create an assemblage masquerading as a symphony. Ambient drones and vinyl surface noise seamlessly combine with stacked loops of occasionally recognizable instrumentation as movements develop and morph. A haunting fever dream that gorgeously fuses the past with the present, in search of hidden secrets and lost moments.

Colin Andrew Sheffield is a sound artist active since the mid-'90s. Sheffield lives in Austin, Texas where he runs the Elevator Bath label.
