LAMINAR — Manifold
More Info
Nach der hervorragenden Debut-CD dieses New Yorkers Projekts auf Soleilmoon (Ante-Chamber) ist dies das zweite volle Album, wo wieder mikrotonale Soundereignisse der Umwelt aufgenommen und verarbeitet wurden: das Fallen von Bltenpollen auf den Boden, das Flattern von Insektenflgeln, verdunstendes Wasser... bei diesen Transformationen entstehen sehr geruschhafte, rauschige, tief pulsierende, abwechslungsreiche Geruschbder... hier kann man ganz tief eintauchen in surreal-obskure Lauthllen und Landschaften... erinnert an HAFLER TRIO, ROLAND KAYN, DIMUZIO...
Laminar's sound investigations and amplification of everyday life's miniscule sounds might resemble another Soleilmoon project, Alp. But Laminar's agenda is far more malevolent. Inspired by the imperceptible sounds of pollen falling from a flower to the ground, the flutter of insect wings, and the evaporation of water, Laminar has recorded "second order sonoritites" of these sonic phenomena, and expanded them through an aural threshing device. The intense eruption of turbulent noise found on "Sector One" and "Sector Five" from the Ante-Chamber album taps into the physicality of Laminar's investigations. In effect, Laminar fuses these tiny sounds with a radioactive isotope to document violent breakdown at a molecular level. [press-release]
