I am working on my methods of how to
write up a wall up for a review, I will record my immediate thoughts and put them into form. Neither side
is marked. I assume I am correct on which side is who.
Vomir. Like
blisters peeling to allow an eruption, side A begins.
This wall seems to have a mid-ground of bubbling bass that is
over layered by static crackle. There does seem to be background movement as if forming a tick tock to measure time, maybe this is a masked background rhythm. This
feels like the centre of an intense flame like when a Bunsen burner flame turns
blue. As it builds it resembles the roar of flames. At the same time, it feels
like a wall that takes the form of the never-ending charge of stampeding horses.
Could it be a transfer of energy, a continuous line of sound,
a chaotic wave of sound? The flow of wall waves that move to and from. The tick
tock is replaced by creaking. The tick tock returns, is it real or am I
imagining it?
Am I adding form to nothingness? Perhaps the nothingness
presents form to me?
End.
Fecalove. Bouncing sounds clang, high pitched sounds
join in. Is a string instrument being abused, the core sound source of this
piece? Side B continues like this
for some time. This serves as the intro to some fast paced cut up assaults of
Noise. Harsh blasts of noise are reinforced
by some serious digital assault and tape warping. Things get drowned in serious
bad recording or deliberate smothering. Until it resuscitates itself and sharp
noise abuse continues, there appears to be old radio frequency shifting
happening, this is more abstract than the other side. A gorgeous choppy assault
of sound. It continues to rage through itself and build up, the latter part of
the passage is a lot sharper in sound than the start. Some form of metal abuse
begins as the bass gradually returns. Static crackle is in there too. The
faltering sound falters in the foreground and the background. The sound dies
slowly and beautifully.
The fabric with the cassette adds contrast and sorrow to the
visual appearance, it makes the simple layout of the front cover chaotic.
A moment in time of noise that is in parts accidentally beautiful and
rich.
