his name is frederick clifford brummer. he is a canadian musician/artist living in japan. found a macintosh computer in the trash. has been making visual art with it. performing electronic music in tokyo. live in a shoebox... and his music isn't about progressing or regressing, and one hesitates to refer to such a strong, enjoyable listen as a holding pattern. the sort of slight seismic shift that may take millions of years to have its say. he understands what classical composers knew: the next symphony wont bring utter revolution, but as long as it carries the emotional impact of your intent, its a grand success for music and sound (we think so). despite d7gn (say: deseptagon) placid rejection of any exceptionally radical artistic statement, there is a grace and deft care taken on the record not to buoy the stately jams with textural shifts, but to interlock the one in an elegant way that's impressive to the discerning listener. nevertheless, this is a very inspiring recording. "0 = 0" sounds like complex calculus set to music: every syncopated rhythm, pling, plong and chord is in exactly the right place, where only it could be. though the arrangements are sparse, they give the impression that they took years of careful planning to come up with. what's impressive is still how warm and chummy the atmosphere in the tracks are even in the «traintracks».
