Giovanni Gramegna suggests noise on “Noise Study,” the A-side of this here split. There’s
just too much tone here, too much to grasp onto to really slide it into a “noise”
category. Now, if Gramegna has been studying noise itself, and not presenting this side as a collection of “noise”
for us to “study,” then he may have
found something. Hidden in those sheets of feedback and power electronics are
wisps of beauty, shimmering celestial illuminations serving as living
groundwork for the onslaught of intensity. Or maybe this is just his idea of
noise. If it is, I want to be inside his head, like all the time.
Artur Maciak, aka AR.MA, has a little bit of a
different approach on “Insect Hunter” – mainly because side B doesn’t waste
much time building itself up to sound like insects
themselves. Well, just because “Noise Study” didn’t sound like actual
insects doesn’t make it any less of a spiritual cousin. AR.MA gets out into
nature at night, where there’s no light pollution, and records the experience. It’s
all wispy clouds on the wind and starlight, silhouettes of trees, and rustling,
indistinct movement. The insect hunter is always ready, and adventure is
constant and meaningful.
