Henry Birdsey: “PL-1”

Everything is in its proper place. Naturally, a sound artist named Henry Birdsey. Naturally, he’s based in Vermont. Naturally, he’s created an ambient album called Private Lottery, which reads like a drone and gong-laden homage to John Cage’s flirtation with the I Ching. Naturally, our highlighted track “PL - 1” is the first song on the four-song album. Naturally, the three subsequent songs are titled “PL - 2” and “PL - 3” and “PL - 4.” What else would you name them?
