Between cathode and anode - iron filings pattern around a magnet, certainity changes, currents move the sand, heat dispatches the wind" - Absolute Musik ? (African Paper) - lim. 500 Japan import Price (incl. 19% VAT): €15.00 More Info Lighting flashes through the ether and rain whips the earth violently. From the innermost depths, the pale of candles, a constancy. A midnight torrent overflows and marks time in solitude. The cold air searches, sewing through the ground, slowly changing and irresolute, nothing is lost. Paths are drawn contorted by fierce winds that traverse the ground in uncertain times and places. Oreder flows through chaos, every step of the spiral is forever surging and altered, yet everlasting. In a space, an electromagnetic ring swarms then rotates. The ring releases its own shackles and plunges through the depth of space. The sounds draw out to an inner sea, turning to dark fundamental notes and overtones. Phenomena, life and sound, as it arises, to change the order of changes. The voice of wilderness resonating in an impenetrable world that continues to chum and swirl. Between cathode and anode - iron filings pattern around a magnet, certainity changes, currents move the sand, heat dispatches the wind. The water rises, returning as rain. Changed to smoke and reappearing as vapour. The mass of the earth compressing the rocks. Fire changes everything, rising and falling, opening and closing. With the release of 'Wildness', Organum Electronics completes the series of harsh electronic releases. They were all released by Japanese Siren Records; 'Fearceness' (Vital Weekly 1323), 'Solitude' (Vital Weekly 1289), 'Organum Electronics' (Vital Weekly 1316), and the not reviewed 'Stillness'. Put all five together and see a very consistent cover design. There is an overlap with Organum (without 'Electronics') work in the design department, with four repeating images/texts. I always think of this as a Warholian/pop art approach. Like the minimal approach to the music, there is also a minimal approach to the music. And that is also that ties Organum and Organum Electronics together. Whereas with Organum, it is sometimes seemingly the same pieces repeated on a release, as with Organum Electronics, the minimal approach lies in the single long-form piece of electronic sounds. David Jackman, the man behind Organum/Electronics, is never too forthcoming when sharing techniques, instruments and other such trivia that would make the reviewer's life easier. My best guess is that Jackman somehow had access to a modular electronics set-up for a while and worked out a way to be quite extreme. A monolithic sound approach occurs, sounds the same as before, and sounds different again. That's the beauty of this music. Five noise exercises were great, but I don't mind a return to the 'other' Organum sound." [FdW/Vital Weekly]
