m. northam: memoirs of four discarded objects cd

wandering through vacated paths of life one takes notice of the drift metal left forgotten along the side of roads - the last remains of the once useful now superfluous - therein these forgotten things lay stories of molecular processes, an elemental re-contextualization perhaps one can see these as a deposit of time along a route from worth to worthlessness.

with this in mind four objects were chosen to translate this ephemeral state into a sonic topography making into memories this re-animated still nature. the objects were played, manipulated and the resulting sounds electronically mined and re-contextualized to create immersive fields of sound - as a multidimensional painting - each reflecting an observation of the materials internal qualities - physical and analogical.

john duncan, peter fleur: the scattering cd

data files and shortwave, that's all it takes for john duncan and peter fleur to instantly incinerate whoever tries to open the creaky door to their electroacoustic secrets. "the scattering" alternates acid textures with a subterranean low pulse projecting the music directly to the crossing of your conscient/altered states, often violently surprising with long silent pauses followed by sudden discharges.

the rumble of a thousand bottled thunderstorms opens fleur's "aggregate", only to transform itself into an evil factory producing ultra-high frequencies and metallic laminates of scorching abrasiveness (curiously, all of the above seems to attract birds around my place; it's not the first time they start chirping loud while i listen to particular recordings).

duncan's "threshold" closes this work starting from silence itself, slowly bringing up rippling currents of almost imperceptible shortwave emissions that inexorably affirm their power in the desolate border area where a concentrate state of shock, aural electrocution and yet again that incredible sense of belonging to nowhere meet. mind you, this record is not useful for mass appreciation and its impact on nerves is potent; to me, it's an essential page of modern art. -- massimo ricci

m. behrens: security vs. freedom 2 x 3" cd

the successor to transition (2001) in the same format -- two mini cds, six full-colour cards with photographs -- further exploits the idea of the absent transition. between two poles of music the listener imagines a huge step from one phase of work to another with a distance of nearly seven years in between, or perhaps just one state of mind to another: security and freedom. but does the security lie in the carefully pronounced minimalist compositions of 'the unknown' on disc 2, or in the dense sound fields of 'compressed location 1 and 2' on disc 1 that engulf and embrace the listener? or vice versa: is freedom expressed in the structurally open, expressive passages of the latter, or in the gap between very low and very high frequencies of 'the unknown - part 1', in which the noise of the surroundings is framed by sound, but still remaining fully audible -- unsuppressed?

m. behrens: transition 2 x 3" cd

two three inch cds -- one comprising new works and another reworkings of older sounds. indeed one finds a marked 'transition' in approach to noise-making among the earlier and later material which is heightened by their physical separation.

disc one highlights behrens' remarkable compositional restraint with slow moving tones and introduction of transient sounds and granular waves into the audio field.

disc two employs an abrupt jump-cut aesthetic and much more primitive sounds in its making: metallic ringing, bursts of low frequencies, voices, and synth-like tones punctuated by sudden dropouts for a jarring overall result.

the cds are carefully packaged in a gatefold plastic sleeve with cards featuring color photographs by the artist.

edition 500.
