More Info Very nice release on AFE by CORDELL KLIER, mainly quiet, droney & spheric, setting you into a mysterious beauty.... we must say that italian label AFE has reached a quality through the years that makes almost all of their new releases worth checking out for the Drone / dark ambient-lover! MP3 samples on the AFE website www.aferecords.com "Cordell Klier is an avantgarde sound artist, graphic designer and label owner from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Since the beginning of his career in music Cordell has continued to carve his own trails and musical nitches with his sincere abilities to bridge the widest of gaps between many of the divided music cultures and sub-cultures. Sometimes to the dismay, and sometimes to the rejoicing of critics and fans alike. Through the years he has worked within many genres of sound. Everything from Noise to Metal, to Punk, Pop and Hip Hop, but currently recognising silence, drone, and glitch as his main mediums of output. Starting out in 1987 with his first Metal band Shadow, Cordell has since moved on to form numerous other acts such as Vedisni, Dream Eternal, Climb to Zalem, No Human Day, Monstrare, Under Crushing Wings and more... "Measure Here and Be Now" was recorded between September 2005 and January 2006, it features four tracks of minimal ambient and lowercase explorations. The disc opens with "Measure Here": with its sixteen minutes this is the longest piece on the album. The track starts with a very long ascending curve and is basically a droning number built on different frequencies intensively shifting up and down the audio spectrum. "Be Now" is another long track touching both the low and high extremes. With its piercing high frequencies buzzes and its low-end assorted rumbles it will surely overfeed your tweeters and woofers. This is a very carefully constructed composition that will severely try your loudspeakers' diaphragms... and ears, obviously. "Aware" is a more quiet and sober ambient affair: its simple structure and drones will soothe you into an heavenly bliss after the ordeal, leaving you in the arms of "Live", a static ending focused on the creative use of electric hum and assorted glitches / noises."
