ok, so, i bought his first album, 'Groundless' and it's pretty good, an interesting listen! =) it's only one single track of 55 minutes, but it really never gets boring (it gets better and better when you're listening to it in fact)... sounds like treated field recording, sometimes quite obvious like stones thrown in water or someone walking on glass debris, but most of the time it sounds really mysterious and you don't know if the sounds are electronic, organic/concrete or modified... at the beginning it sounds like Bernhard Günter a bit (if you don't know him, he makes "lowercase music", the most well-known artist ressembling to him is Ryoji Ikeda maybe), and there are also some high frequencies (a little painful on headphones!) used - two things quite typical of the Trente Oiseaux label... the whole piece in general is very "natural", like a soundscape of an environment... the crescendo/climax of the piece, at the end, is very very good - it gets louder and louder, more and more tense, like a storm coming to you, with some kind of muffled church music/singing (which makes an effect like in Great Black Time by Current 93 if you know it), under the rest of the more natural sounds (like a forest in stormy weather...) and a little bit of creepiness... - then it just stops with a little strange sound, which is also used at the beginning. |
