Just received a three cdr set, nicely packaged by a certain idm list member, N Willscher/Zammuto. "An overstuffed jewel case" of audio-quirkiness. While his influences range from Squarepusher to Aphex to Oval, much of the sounds on here are amplified by some sort of computer generated twisted soundscape.. While we're on the topic of O/r's latest release on 12k, the product of these cdr's is more in line with O/r meets Pole (minus the dub). Imagine, if you will, "techno" with a focus on the technology of sound manipulation, and a unique ability to process digital bits and pieces into one unestablished area of electronics. CD1 bends, twists, and glitches its way deep into experimental confusion, while CD2 takes a logical step up from this area into a more refined "sound". CD3 contains music.. a collection of tiny quirks, guitar licks even, melting with an omnipresent static hiss and a few beats to line things up accordingly. While we're still trying to digest an ambient versus digital-trickery style of music, Solutiore Of Stareau keeps your brain energized with lots of minimal beats, sparse melodies, and the occasional vocal out take. Email N.Zammuto at the following address for more information on his new project, and kudos to another sound-designer on idm creating space music for aliens to enjoy! xxxxxxxx@xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx Here's the tracklisting: 1. ballroom carpet 2. spad intro 3. spad 4. sot/father project 5. mbast goodanswerremix 6. swap (a,b) 7. some moss 8. boodistmonk house ep: 9. partisan mix 10. 21 eyes and 16 noses 11. obliqueelliptical mix -- 12. full martyr status 13. lacy's visit w. my brother mark Pietro. _____________________________________ Pietro Da Sacco, m b m @ n e t c o r e . c a ::: Grooves Magazine 002 ::: ::: Experimental Electronica in Words ::: http://www.rain.org/~audio/grooves/ ::: Insound.com Zinestand ::: http://www.insound.com/zinestand/grooves/
