833-45833-45 - Solar Cycle 23 LP [apl004] ()

Vancouver based artist Kevin Krebs who is known through his Notype.com & Nishi output is known for working on a very own kind of sound exploration and searching for the yet most exciting frequencies between the various radiostations out there on earth. "Solar Cycle" creates a very cold and inhuman atmosphere, partly post-nuclear when the test signals in "A Perfectly Reflecting Earth" evoke. Through the continued slightly distorted whitenoise Kevin unfolds his advanced beatshuffling with merging layers and bits of radio signals with sinesaws and delayed DSP fx. The imagery of wasteland is pervasively reflected in the calm pieces of this album, for example through the incomplete transmissions in "A Layer Of Silence" and "11075 kHz". This album has a filmic touch i think and is best listened to when having an evening with "The Andromeda Strain" or "The Day After".

More reviews of "Solar Cycle 23" and more of his granulations can be found on Kevins personal homepage (http://www.833-45.net)

Subject: Experimentell und abgedreht
Viel hartes Rauschen kommt einem da entgegen, experimentell und abgedreht, aber auf seine Art und Weise durchaus ambient. Die Grundlage bilden Radiowellen, zusammengestellt und mit Effekten manipuliert, durch synthetische Klänge erweitert und ergänzt. Nahezu alle Lieder sind rhythmuslos, und rauschende Radiosignale dominieren das komplette Album hindurch. Ein Klangerlebnis, dem ich gerne zugehört habe.

Einziger Wermutstropfen, der aber nicht in die Berwertung einfließt, ist die Wahl des Audio-Formats. Da das komplette Album zwar in Lieder unterteilt, aber dennoch ein durchgehendes Werk ist, wurde mit MP3 eine schlechte Wahl getroffen. Lückenlose Formate wie OGG Vorbis währen wünschenswert gewesen. Das gilt leider auch für andere Veröffentlichungen Krebs'.
