Nach "Wind" und "Land" nun "Sturm", weitere Feldaufnahmen von Seeluft, Möwen, Wellen, Seelöwen oder Seehunden (?) die wie mutierte Babies schreien, das alles wirkt sehr kraftvoll, aufwühlend, kalt & mächtig... beide haben lange solo-Stücke aufgenommen (in Schottland und auf Gotland & Öland in Schweden), und für das SIGWX - Stück zusammengearbeitet... wieder fantastisch und ein Muss für field recording-Freunde !!
"This CD continues the collaboration between UK sound archivist Chris Watson (Cabaret Voltaire) and Swedish electronic artist BJ Nilsen (Hazard), which began with Wind (Ash International, 2001) and Land (Touch, 2001) and comprises 3 tracks, 2 solo and 1 collaboration. Chris .......Chris Watson writes: "During December 2000 several significant storm fronts developed across the North Sea and Scandinavia. Benny remarked to me that he had recorded some of these on the Baltic coast and proposed a collaborative CD project based around our mutual interests in the rhythms and music created when the elements combine over land and out to sea. We spent the next few years gathering recordings on our respective coastlines and islands during the very active weather windows during the autumnal equinox and winter solstice. This was focused around our following one particular cyclonic system, which veers over Snipe Point on Lindisfarne to the Isle of May in the Firth of Forth, and finally descends upon Öland and Gotland where Benny listened in with a favorite pair of Sennheiser omnidirectional microphones." [press releases]
"...They are highly imaginative pieces of natural sounds, and should appeal to fans of Eric LaCasa as well as others who use recordings like this to create powerful music, again like this." [Vital Weekly]
