There’s a whole lot of really great stuff going on with this
here experimental/noise/drone/soundtrack compilation of sound sculptors from
all over the western map. Some tracks
are chaotic, a mantra of repeating synth ditties and out of sync, repeating
field recordings looping in and out of time with each other, sometimes creating
warm, serene poses, and others, outright
I-lost-my-four-year-old-by-the-dunk-tank nightmares. Between these vignettes
lay hefty swaths of electro-acoustic feedback manipulation (most notably Wound
from Italy, Hollowfonts from Tampa, FL USA and Qrux from ???) that I’m damn
glad I got to hear and will be looking out for future releases by, redirecting
my attention to the fine sound-art that Phinery Records in Denmark and Sacred
Phrases in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, USA are steadily churning out! It’s a pretty
wild ride to have so many stylistically different artists, all tied together
through abstraction and the ability to create moods out of thin, vibrating air
molecules, and I think this release is wellllll worth repeated,
eyes-closed-with-headphones listening.

machines, meditative swaying, blank stares
