...For me there is no difference between sound and music. The qualities of sound I almost always find are 'musical' in nature - whether that be temporality, tone, pitch, dynamics etc. I can listen to hydrophonic recordings from the coast of Queensland or a psych folk group from Japan and find both as enjoyable and inspiring as each other. The detail of the sound matter is what I am interested in - the unique qualities or aspects that make a particular sound or combination of sounds engaging...
Perhaps in creative work of each musician there comes the moment, when after release of some especially successful album all next albums are in some way compared to it. For me such an album by Canadian project Loscil became Plume, though I can't compare it to the new record Endless Falls...
...If you want to hear this music for 100%, then having seen the people involved in this CDr, it's better to isolate yourself at once from any outer sound sources. Even using headphones you may lose the composition clue or get confused of which exactly sound is transmitted by the acoustic system, and which one comes from outside. In general it is a good field for experiments...
Album A Three Month Warm Up of Canadian audio designer Jamie Drouin released by label Dragon's Eye Recordings in summer 2009 has in its basis 124 field records made during three months in suburbs of Victoria (British Columbia, Canada). Thorough filtration comparable to getting of sound essence, led the initial sounds to the state when they convey their gist, their nerve...
Project d_rradio has a little bit tangled title. It is read as "D. R. Radio" and stands for "deathrowradio". Gloomily and hopelessly at first sight, but if you think it over, well, what may be the radio of death row? What can it mean? Maybe the door to endless freedom, the last clap which lasts for eternity...
Years pass by, tendencies of musical industry, generations of musicians change, technologies develop... And in 2009 William Basinski released on his own label 2062 record 92982 with music of 82 year, and several months later album Vivian & Ondine recorded in 2008. And what should you think?..
If your day started not that way that you wanted, everything was turned upside down and your mood was helplessly lost, then it will be possible to return the inner balance only tuning for the same arrhythmic wave - in our case we propose to deepen into listening to release Graphorrhea by the international project Critikal...
Album Pulsion by headliners of the Spanish industrial scene appeared in 2009 and at once attracted attention of almost all fans of this music and those who are in the theme. To my mind, if we speak about serious industrial music and about music in general, team Esplendor Geometrico takes its separate unique space, these guys have what to say...
One of the releases by the Japanese label Symbolic Interaction in 2009 became the debut album Spanon by the Netherlander Ard Janssen representing here his alter-ego Ard Bit. Perhaps with his album Janssen demonstrated in general that music which appeared in the result of splitting out from IDM surface and its development in averaged variant has mainly in common the design of most sounds...
