Tokafi say ....
"Most people thought of David Newman's autistici-release "Volume Objects" on
12k as his first full-length. Brimful of ideas, epic and demanding,
constantly evolving and infinitely ambitious, it surely had the typical
traits of a debut: Newman's ambient acoustic worlds were inhabited by
myriads of sound creatures and sonic plants entwining themselves around a
laserbeam-like pillar of creativity. In reality, these both powerful and
peculiar pieces were the results of years spent refining a distinct style
through a plethora of net-releases. In a sense, however, "Volume Objects"
did constitute a fresh beginning for autistici. Not only was Newman devoting
more and more time to building his Audiobulb imprint into one of the more
eclectic and forwardthinking outfits on the electronica-scene. He was also
turning more towards minutely designed physical products. This tendency
continues with his latest record, "Complex Tone Test" on keshhhhhh Records,
which again comes accompanied by striking cover art. It also shows that
Newman has no intention of simply repeating the promising formula of "Volume
Objects". Rather, "Complex Tone Test" has turned out a concept work of
sorts, researching the information processing capacities of the human mind.
What sounds like a scientific experiment onpaper has, in fact, turned into
an emotionally charged album which never quite sounds the same. About time
we spoke to David to find out more...."
