[Microsound-announce] ocp - stepping stone

[Joao Ricardo]

http://www.monocromatica.com/netlabel/releases/tube124.htm

«Three/four releases a year is the average production coming out of João
Ricardo's lab, making him a very busy artist and producer. Even with such a
rate of releases, quality is not an issue, as João - aka Operador de Cabine
Polivalente (OCP for short) does always really interesting works. 'Stepping
Stone' is one more of those works. Again, João takes the 'single piece'
approach for added immersive experience. The piece shapeshifts through its
thirty-two minutes and a half course, filled with highly textured sound
palletes. A focused listener will find at least three distinct 'movements'
in this piece, or better yet, three core ones with an additional smaller
interlude-ish one. The second main movement is an organic symphony made from
string notes colliding and overlapping themselves into repetitive loops. The
final and last movement - and my favorite - starts with a dub ambient
approach to a sci-fi drama; dense and heavy and glitchy, and rapidly turns
into a full glitch/field recording/improv. long finale, with warm,
rubbed-out edges of awesomely (is that a word?) well made ambient. Someone
once wrote in a review that there's never a dull or boring moment in João
Ricardo's works, and that never was so absolutely and undeniably true as it
is now.» - Pedro Leitão
