A study in anticipation, Softly Softly Copy Copy (Kye, 2009) repurposes the expectant rumblings of an audience-in-waiting, lifted by Graham Lambkin from various concert recordings of German kosmische band Tangerine Dream. These bootlegged clips provide a skeleton for various sonic scraps and interludes -- distorted and abandoned fragments from Lambkin's archive, new recordings on guitar and violin by Austin Argentieri and Samara Lubelski, respectively -- that, together, form a composition suffused with the atmosphere of potential energy. In its Blank Forms reissue, Softly Softly Copy Copy is available on LP for the first time.
