This CD by John Wiese and Daniel Menche is comprised of a
single track, "Behold the Scathing Light," that's more easily
linked to Weise's recent work with Bastard Noise than his solo
output. Menche is an artist who concentrates on creating music
which fills the beautiful end of the usually ugly noise
spectrum, though without a compromise of the music's urgency or
intensity. His collaboration with Wiese results in ambient
music that moves in masses of swirling sound or dense bands of
tone that enter and exit the musical canvas effortlessly, and
without commotion. Minor sonic happenings take place, and fade
into the background as a new drone or hum rises into its space.
A more constant wave of sound may have provided a more
streamlined listening experience, but Menche and Wiese opt
instead for a rise-and-fall aesthetic that places equal focus
on transition as it does on the ambience of the music itself.
The music's surprisingly straightforward in some respects,
though not without the usual nuances of its noisy,
neo-minimalist kin.
