Another Celer album has just been released in a highly limited
Edition of just 150 copies. The record label for ananlog sound
called Analog Path (based in Japan) lately released this album
called Menggayakan on CDr. More than fifty minutes of field
recordings and heavily processed drones û well, that's just
typical for Celer û are delivered in one track with the
following chapters: Hatta / Gliding in the Absolute / Circular
Square, Exhaust, Anti-American Protest / A Less Representation
Of Myself / Masjid Istiqlal / Breathing Effects, and A Lack Of
/ Mosquito / Feigned Ignorance and Dissimulation / Ultraclimax
/ The Romance Of Travel / As Ever.
Regarding the complete Celer discography we often find long-
form pieces like this. With widely delayed and multilayered
drones æMenggayakanÆ is rich of orchestral parts sometimes
appearing with kind of a basinski-esque amount of repetition
which has become typical for Celer as well. The different
chapters are interrupted by laughter, documentary and other
field recordings. As already seen on their æEngaged TouchesÆ
album (on Home Normal) the string-laden parts often have a
wonderful melancholic or even romantic atmosphere with solemn
melodies in the high string sections. And again on
æMenggayakanÆ it takes some time until the sound seems to
unfold from the cloudy drones that appear in the first
chapters of the piece.
Menggayakan has been the second release of the newly formed
Analog Path label. We should definitely keep this imprint in
mind and check their releases regularly as their forthcoming
schedule includes some really interesting artists such as RenΘ
Margraff, Brian Grainger and Stray Ghost. And certainly we
shouldn't stop watching out for new Celer works that are still
released constantly. I'm sure that this is not my last Celer
review.
