[microsound-announce] New reviews and sound works on Furthernoise.org

[Roger Mills]

Hi all,

For your reading listening pleasure !

"Unfathomless (U01) ~Tsukubai~" (feature)
Parallel to the ongoing Mystery Sea series, with its ‘night ocean  
drones’ and related metaphorical psycho-activity, Daniel Crokaert has  
inaugurated a sister label. Unfathomless seeks to mine potentially  
wider and deeper audio-documentary veins - natural, man-made, fictive,  
as well as other related environmental experiences implicating memory  
and senses.

""rivages sur l'antipode" - d'incise" (review)
Releasing yet another fine objet d'art of metaphorical antipodesian  
soundscapes, the ini.itu imprint have once again reinforced their  
unique take on experimental global sound. “Ravages sur l’antipode” by  
d’incise, aka Laurent Peter is something akin to a palmiset of  
southern sound,

"Arctic Summits - Netherworld" (review)
Netherworld's stated working method is to start from tiny fragments of  
classical music and various other kinds of field recordings and found  
sounds, manipulated and processed to evoke polar silences. The results  
often include lush harmonies, whose surface calm contains touches of  
grit that provide a surreal undercurrent in his ever-shifting arctic  
splendor.

"Crossing Of Shadows" (review)
Previously orchestramaxfieldparrish has navigated interstices between  
ambient, drone and neo-classical, dealing in a blend of ritual, drone  
and post-Gothic colourings and wispy atmospherics. A questing  
sensibility issues here in a turning away from repetition of gestures.  
What once was was restless with experiment, now seems more restrained.

"Unfathomless (U02) ~Tactile.Surface~" (review)
Unfathomless (U02): A choreography of the chthonic constitutes much of  
this engaging excursion. Sources for Tactile.Surface were recorded in  
diverse settings: Turra’s room in Schio, Italy, and one of McFall’s  
trips from Kansas to Colorado. Their combined aesthetic is one of  
stark isolationism, with a mix of familiar components bringing new  
timbral skin to the old ceremony.

"Unfathomless (U03) ~Lack Affix~" (review)
Unfathomless (U03): Built upon the grouping of field recordings from  
Maryland, Washington D.C. and Argentina. Nicholas Szczepanik & Juan  
José Calarco traded field recordings in constructing this glowering  
but not inhospitable collage, processing and mixing audio spoils from  
their respective areas jointly into a work of substantial clarity and  
particulate involvement.

"Unfathomless (U04) ~Lignes d’erre & Randons~" (review)
Unfathomless (U04): continuing the pursual of grimly fluid,  
introspective, subterranean drone, a style that's become increasingly  
widespread as others follow where Daniel Crokaert et al. lead. There  
are few, though, as proficient as Kassel Jaeger, who augments the  
house style, widening the palette through inclusion of electronics,  
and deepening interaction with source material.

"Unfathomless (U05) ~Zeltini~" (review)
Unfathomless (U05): Revenant is an open-membership project involving a  
number of specialists of location recording. Zeltini's eponymous  
environment is an abandoned Soviet army base in a Latvian forest -  
large horizontal bunkers where missiles were stored, one of which was  
used in a semi-transcendental experience in which the participants  
dispersed in almost total darkness.
