A Picture Is Worth 1000Hz (Waxen Wings)

Both audio and visual contributions to this new compilation from the Waxen Wings netlabel.

1http://waxenwings.bandcamp.com/album/a-picture-is-worth-1000hz

info from Waxen Wings:
"For this compilation, a pool of photos and images was collected from various photographers and artists who submitted their works for inclusion. At that point the images were distributed at random to all of the audio artists which were to use their image as direct inspiration for their work, in essence, composing a soundtrack to a still image. This collection is a showcase of the results that were obtained. A high quality 'poster' style image is included with download that shows each image and its creator, as well as lists the accompanying artist and song. Putting this compilation together has been an indescribably long process, that we are EXTREMELY proud to present to the listener."
