COLLEY, JOE & JASON LESCALLEET - Annihilate this Week

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Brombron 09 Release Year: 2006 Note: special cover Price (incl. 19% VAT): €13.00 Warning: Currently we do not have this album in stock! More Info Die Brombron-Serie geht in die neunte Runde (2 Klangkünstler die noch nie zusammen gearbeitet haben bekommen die Möglichkeit, im ‚Extrapool’-Hightech-Studio in Nijmegen für mehrere Tage gemeinsam zu werkeln...), mit zwei eher atmosphärisch ausgerichteten Noise-Soundtüftlern aus den USA: mechanische Drone-Wellen, field recordings tauchen in cut-up Manier auf (z.B. Möwen-Sounds, Knarzen & Rauschen), dumpfe Summtöne und allerlei Knirsch- und Granularklänge lassen den Eindruck von Erosion und Dekonstruktion entstehen... wahrhaft „experimenteller“ Drone, grenzüberschreitend und uneindeutige Empfindungen erzeugend.... “Korm Plastics is proud to present the ninth release in the Brombron series. Originally a co-production between Staalplaat and Extrapool, it is now hosted by co-curator Frans de Waard. In the year 2000 Frans de Waard and Extrapool started the Brombron project. Two or more musicians become artists in residence in Extrapool, an arts initiative in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, with a fully equipped sound recording studio. These artists can work in a certain amount of time on a collaborative project; a project they always wished to do, but didn't have the time or the equipment to realize. Colley and Lescalleet had never met before their grey week in Nijmegen. Though neither of these melacholic composers were prepared for the conflicts and compromise of this collaboration, they found common ground in rejecting the need for deep meaning or complex concepts. 46 minutes remain after harsh judgement from two perpetually dissatisfied artists. But what does it sound like? Amidst the detritus of yard sale junk and old, broken equipment, Colley and Lescalleet engage in the pursuit of resurrecting the essence of sound and exposing beauty that others discard. Locked away in the recording studio of Geluidwerkplaats Extrapool for ten days, they found music in the natural process of decay. These compositions seem weathered and eroded. Rather than aiming for excitement or dazzling expression, Colley and Lescalleet embrace the tedium of everyday life as something beautiful and compelling. This is music with a slow absorption rate and a high toxicity.” [label info] “Do you think I was very positive about the former Brombron release? Well, hold your horses because here's another one that deserves our full attention. Colley and Lescalleet have produced an excellent work as well! Starting with a very realistic entering of the studio we are swept away into a wonderfully dense world of drones and more drones. The way these guys deal with space in sound and sound in space is something to admire and aspire to. Normally this kind of music would not be my first fancy, but what these two are doing is one huge step beyond everything ambient or drony I have heard until now. And that only describes the first track of four! The second track uses field recordings messed up in a very stunning way, basically some cuts and filtering and sampling, but done in such an excellent way, that it's is not really possible to describe it well. The same goes for the other two tracks: words fail... this also is an absolute must!!!” [MR / Vital Weekly]
