with p'taah's debut lp, "compressed light", innovative ubiquity
records scores yet another stunning release, hot on the heels of
its two new latinaires compilations. atlanta's p'taah (a.k.a.
chris brann) is best known for his house work under the wamdue
productions alias, but here he moves far into the leftfield
terrain marked out in 1999 by j. swinscoe's cinematic orchestra
and carl craig's innerzone orchestra, where jazz meets the sampler
and collaged strains pour over programmed beats. it's an unlikely
merger, but here especially, it results in the deepest soul.
compressed light treats the recording studio as the ultimate
instrument. listen to space unfold as sounds -- drumbreak, snaky
bass line, stab of brass -- map the imaginary boundaries of the
track, rebuilding the room around you in the unlikeliest of
architectures. tying together the farthest corners of the virtual
room, warm, sun-drenched chords float, smolder and then burst into
full flame. brann, a virtuoso of the studio, turns the mixing deck
into a space of alternate possibility, and compressed light is a
wonder-filled celebration of that possibility.
