More Info

Die britische Neutönerin mit ihrer Debut-CD; wer auf spannende, "schwierige" Microsound-Elektronik steht, ist hier richtig. Immer wieder ertönen schwelende Anbahnungen von Klang, durchbrochen von seltsamsten Rausch- und Knirscheffekten, Sinuston- und Radiowellen-artigen Sounds; es wirkt in der Tat wie ein evolutionärer Prozess, denen Klänge hier ausgesetzt sind. Meist im relativ ruhigen Bereich, aber mit sehr vitalen Bewegungen im Klang. Super! Komm in einer metallisch-blauen Anti-Statik Tüte, die weiss bedruckt ist. Zweite Auflage von 100 Stück!

"Helena Gough’s debut album consists of seven soundworks, conceived as spaces to enter. Within these spaces sounds are born, then evolve, disintegrate and sometimes die. Each is created using a minimum of raw material, usually derived from recordings of small sounds and domestic noises. This material is pulled apart until its roots are severed and it becomes free from its original ties. Efforts are made to find a balance between spontaneity and precision. Rarely is there a resolution
or a direct linear progression from A to B; often it is something closer to A into A — ideas turn in on themselves. Textures appear to be still but are always in motion. This microscopic approach is a focus of the way in
which sounds are treated." [label info]
