More Info Das Pendant zur RICK REED Picture-LP (ebenfalls auf Elevator Bath) stellt diese Arbeit des emsigen COELACANTH-Mitglieds, HELEN SCARSDALE-Labelbetreibers, WIRE-Rezensenten & AQUARIUS RECORDS-Mitarbeiters dar. Ein feines Beispiel seiner Kunst, kratzende, knirschende, granulare Objektklänge zu erzeugen, sehr subtil und fein, die gut zu seinen "korrodierenden", verrostenden Bildern passen... die betörenden Drones wirken irgendwie "steinig" und "metallig", ohne dass man genau sagen könnte, was für Originalklangquellen eingesetzt wurden... "Beautiful picture disc LP featuring two full-color reproductions of visual works by Jim Haynes and two new side-long solo compositions. The ideal companion pieces to Jim Haynes' masterful album, Telegraphy by the Sea, Eraldus and Eravaldus are both shadowy concoctions built from agitated objects and amplified spaces (a lighthouse, some high-tension wires driven by wind, a very large pile of sand, etc.). These are subtly manipulated field recordings, rusted to perfection and fine-tuned into scraping and humming machinations. The artwork comes from two corroded photographs, one of which was created especially for this LP. Haynes has worked with this process for almost 15 years and, here, the resulting images are as beautiful and mysterious as the audio is nuanced and evocative." [label info] "...and for Jim Haynes the follow up to his excellent CD 'Telegraphy By The Sea' (see Vital Weekly 548). Haynes is foremost known as a writer, but he has also played with Loren Chasse as Coelacanth, with Keith Evans, Steve Stapleton and Matt Waldron, and especially with the work of Waldron (sometimes better known as irr. app (ext.)) there are strong ties. Two new pieces here on this LP, in a similar vein as the CD: field recordings are treated around, looped, changed, altered, modified. On one side (it's a bit hard to decipher which side is what here) this is a bit more harsher than usually, while on the other side it seems we are hearing ventilation systems, layered, to create a vast, rich pattern in sound. Drone like this side, while the other is more 'chopped' up, more a collage style, but not in a same free form, as everything flows nicely into eachother. Music that ties him into the work of Matt Waldron or say Nurse With Wound in a drone mood and certainly highly influenced by The Hafler Trio. However with this record, the somewhat louder approach course taken here, makes that Haynes finds more a voice of his own. A small step perhaps, but an essential one."
