Releasenotes:
Good things come to those who wait! In this case itÆs the long-anticipated,
heavyweight pairing on Home Normal featuring Fabio Orsi and Pimmon. For those
familiar with the world of drone and experimental artists, these two need no
introduction. Orsi is a figurehead in the Italian (and world) experimental /
psych scene and is constantly pushing his craft into new worlds via
collaborations and a steady output of genre-bending work. The Australia-based
Pimmon (Paul Gough) favors a ghostly glitch style that reveals its hidden
secrets through close inspection. This pairing of the sonorous and the subdued
makes for a gorgeous adventure through a series of active and revelatory
environments.
The four soundscapes here are lengthy and virulent. Each unique world spins like
a small moon, its features sparkling like many plankton at varying depths. These
pieces are highly dynamic, sonically speaking, with all kinds of sounds and
patterns twisting like polar winds or flocks of birds in and around the ears.
When Giuseppe Ielasi masters a record, headphones deliver the full package. In
ôGarnachaö OrsiÆs slowly fermenting melodies are beaten by PimmonÆs weather and
miniscule detritus, each gentle barrage mutating along the way. ThereÆs a lot
going on, but the overall effect is that of welcome paralysis in the listener.
If we were cryogenically frozen, this would be a potential soundtrack.
Each composition reaches an omega density, sometimes beginning that way, and
holds this intensity throughout before calming at the closing curtain. ôI Wish
You Were In Yallingupö does just that, opening with some alarm-like skree before
the graceful mass of drones and space absorbs it. When Orsi and Pimmon dive
right in, the white burst of bubbles quickly reveal a coral reef of soothing
complexity. There is no letdown or compositional theatrics. ôJust One Moreö
however quietly starts with the equivalent of glitchy candlelight, and
effortlessly blooms into a gorgeous closing piece. Soft pings and glistening
guitar fragments are brushed with skeletal static. It is easy to imagine
prismatic flowers opening on a field of cloud. Lovely!
Folks who have been patiently waiting for Procrastination to be released since
last year are hopefully enjoying the growing humor. The combination of the
albumÆs title and cover originally felt more like a cheap project name rather
than an inspired accompaniment to the music. It actually came about after Pimmon
stewed helplessly on OrsiÆs shared pieces (ones he immediatley considered ôfully
realisedö). He essentially had writerÆs block for 18 months and worked on other
projects before the dam broke and the transformations took shape for this album.
And once the chosen vinyl cutting machines broke down for a lengthy period,
causing more delays, the theme has become deftly appropriate*! There is an
optimism to this title, indicating that projects put on the back burner, for no
matter how long, can be approached and completed with new knowledge and
enthusiasm right now.
