| REVIEWS: The four-way split Territorium is another fine example of how today's new electronic music blurs the distinction between natural and artificial - those old ideological battle lines drawn up between Paris and Cologne seem increasingly irrelevant. The "AT" in Dale Lloyd's "Anamorphic_AT" stands for "Artificial Terrain", and the composer is at pains to point out that though some use is made of field recordings, what might sound like insects and amphibians is in fact purely electronic in origin. In terms of overall pace and basic material it has much in common with Richard Garet's "Circle", which combines treated field recordings made in South America and Garet's current home New York City (including on the subway) to create a subdued if tense montage of hums, drones and crackles. The three brief tracks by Ubeboet, aka Madrid-based Con-v label boss Miguel Tolosa, are as evocative as their titles – "The Wait", "Doubts" and "Waking Up Misty" – but tend to leave one wanting more (luckily there is more at http://www.earlabs.org/label/LM/LM028.asp?titleID=1296). The most impressive piece on offer is Jos Smolders' "Aiolos (Vangsaa Exterior)", which as its title makes clear is sourced in recordings of wind made outside a cottage in Vangsaa, Denmark, delicately woven with flecks of distant birdsong, passing aeroplanes and "tiny bell like anomalies" into a rich and remarkably moving sonic tapestry. Paristransantlantic.com March 2006 Non Visual Objects provides a big one here with this wonderful CD featuring Richard Garet, Dale Lloyd, Jos Smolders and Ubeboet. Concerning itself with mostly field recordings, manipulated and processed sound and environmental texture, the CD is conceptual and yet still very engaging. Garet's piece is made with feild recordings from South America, New York and his own studio. Dale Lloyd works with mostly electronic sounds but adds some treated field recordings into the mix. Smolders uses the environmental sounds of the wind recorded outside a cottage in Denmark and finally Ubeboet delivers 3 short pieces that represent acoustic phenomena found in unnatural urban environments. Incredibly satifying, particularly when listened to all the way through, it's a work that's as diverse as it is challenging and comes highly recommended. Of course, as it's on Non Visual Objects it comes with delightful packaging and in a limited press of 300 copies. (mike oliver, smallfish) --Direkter und fassbarer dagegen die Aufnahmen von Jos Smolders, in denen Wind die Hauptrolle spielt. Ein reizvolles Wechselspiel von Intensitäten, eine sehr varianten- und nuancenreiche Beschäftigung, die weit weniger kryptisch als die vorhergehenden Beiträge ist.-- (tobias bolt, quiet noise) |
