Live @ GT22 04.09.2019.
Gen 26 is a Matjaž Galičič project that has been active
since 2002. Altered Gene Expression is part of a batch of 2019 releases by Gen
26 on Debila Records.
As you will all know, from my adventures reviewing releases
on Inner Demons Records, I am a huge fan of Harsh Noise on the 3”CDR format. So,
to receive this, made me happy.
Altered Gene Expression presents two passages of Harsh
Noise, one studio recorded and the other is a live performance from the next
day at GT22, a small multi-disciplinary arts venue in Maribor in Slovenia which
is described as a Transnational Guerilla Arts School. This performance was part
of the Zasavje Noisefest International 2019.
The first track Altered Gene Expression of Evolutionary
Innovation starts of as low rumble wall noise, a warm rumble with a slight
sharp crackle alongside and around it, this is a two levelled deep wall of
noise. This is the shorter piece of the two featured on the disc. Feedback
rises briefly to break the continuity of the wall, the work continues to blast
and resonate until it fades out.
The live performance at GT22 has a sharper blast of sound, this
has a more aggressive shifts and is speedier in pace, this is a fast-moving
piece of Harsh Noise Wall work. The sound is violent, solid and well-paced - this
is a good recording of the said performance.
This brief intro to the work of Gen 26 has been a pleasant
journey, this is a good recording and the venue looked beautiful. Excellent.
