I’m
thoroughly convinced that this could be the birth of a new genre. “Timbre
Collection” doesn’t have a good enough ring. Not “zippy” enough, I suppose. Let
the label evolve naturally, I don’t care, but I want more of this! Brilliantly
patchworked sound collages seamlessly grab your brain’s timid hand and lead it
through electro-acoustic drones, somehownotharshfeedback, tapewarped
non-western vocalists riffing, classical tones… all the while, layers above or
below, cathedral choirs reverb, wind has its way with unshielded microphones,
saccharine TV commercial-style jingles cut & paste themselves in & out
of unexpected places…the list goes on and on, from dulcet waltzes being
interrupted by the kool-aide man blasting KMFDM(ish) synth chords to soupy
arena-rock anthems bombarded by tsunamis of static. The interplay is an
enriching novelty few know of, and I feel damn lucky to have heard this. So
truly brilliant. I want more… Facebook says my first serious girlfriend from 15
years back who still lives in Ohio knows this guy. I’m wondering what role I
might have to conspire to in order to see more of these explorations made
public…
