I'm sure that someone has, by now, answered
the question(s) regarding Mira Calix music. Chantel
Passamonte aka Mire Calix was raised in Durban,
South Africa, and has recently recorded her new
album for Warp call 'One On One' to be released
in March 2000.
>From a brief listen, there are some cool electronic
chunks as well as atmospheric elements thread
deep inside these tunes. 'One On One' slips into
the darker side of ambient/minimalism, incorporating
watery sounds with sheets of digital noise and buried
lyrics. Experimentally dark and absorbing with a
touch of drenching instrumental workouts.
Some press details read: "..reflecting her love of
strung out, avant garde guitar blazers like Spaceman
3 and My Bloody Valentine as much as any techno
influence. Richly steeped in her own, digitally tampered-
with vocals.." Now you have a ~sense~ of Mira's
sound approach..
Here is the tracklisting for 'One On One' that may
take a few listens to properly digest:
. ms. meteo (poolside mix)
. skin with me
. nostalgia
. sparrow
. three teas please
. schmyk
. ithanga
. routine (the dancing bear)
. the more you do the more you do
. isabella
. daydreaming at night
. simple friends
. battery beach
. upiyano
. afrique du mai
. slip sliding
Check out Warp Records for more information on this
title as well as other news (if you haven't already..)
