| november 2006 release by daniel menche; not the wall of grating metallics that you’ve come to expect from mid-period/recent menche; rather a series of sensitive treatments for string & percussion sounds allowed ample room to develop linearly without resorting to traditional “pileups” (in fact most of the pieces are quite static in dynamic)
surprisingly delicate; easily my favorite menche titles from the last 2-odd years... |

daniel menche:
"creatures of cadence"
cd
despite what the title might suggest, “creatures of cadence” is not about endings, completion, or finality. instead we find menche inviting a slew of new mediators into his cathartic miasma. the medium now extends beyond the rich and unfathomable depths of somatic sound. his ongoing dialogue between body and mind has found sympathetic resonators in a myriad of instruments (percussion, cello, horns, and zither) that have proven through the ages of being capable of channeling both our most ecstatic joy and profoundest grief.
“creatures of cadence” finds menche in full exploratory mode; excavating well-concealed networks of sonorous information through a systematic deconstruction of drone and pulse. in the process, he further erases any perceived division between hearing / feeling and performer / instrument. the result, if consumed at the appropriate amplitude, is nothing less than a sixty minute journey through a voluptuous and pristine mania.
“creatures of cadence” is a work commissioned by crouton and longbox recordings and published in conjunction with menche’s first midwest u.s. concerts: in chicago and milwaukee, september 29 and 30, 2006. released in an edition of 500, including three full color inserts and overwrap with images of detailed bird drawings peppered with a whisper of the disturbing by eric stotik. it is our sincere hope the listener will find the packaging for this release a fitting visual analogue to the vehement beauty of the aural. |
