Promising Dark Ambient act from Canada with spheric earthquake-drones, sirenesque sounds & more concrete crunchings & grindings,
derived from "amplified organic and geologic materials, kora and Tibetan thighbone trumpet". Quite refined & special, to discover!
"Dystonia EK is a label from Montreal and already exists since 1989. For ten years they released cassettes and a few CDRs, but with the release of the Nebris CD they start up their activities again. Before being Nebris, they (he? she?) were called Column, with various releases as Dystonia EK and 'Bleak Angels' is the second release as Nebris, following 'Krone' from 1999. They use 'amplified organic materials (bones, gut strings) and minerals (fossils, meteorite fragments, stones)' and produce three lengthy tracks. First I thought they were spinning empty grooves of a record, extremely amplified, alongside long wave recordings, but knowing what they do make it all sound even more fascinating. There is a backdrop in all three pieces of rotating sounds, crackles, highly processed and multi-layered voices, especially in 'V' this latter feature, and it sounded very much like Tibetan Red. Probably they throw in lots of electronics to get this swirling mass of sound. Bleak indeed. There is a great sense of desolation around this music, the usual ambient industrial post nuclear emptiness. The empty industrial lot at night. For those who love Tibetan Red, old zoviet*france, or the more softer edges of releases on Old Europa Cafe and Cold Meat Industry will surely find this quite interesting. Executed with great care and skill, with a keen eye for details and variation, this is an excellent work in the genre." [FdW / Vital Weekly]
