yet another new microsound artist is unveiled on the mightily
understated 12k label; sogar (the nom-de-processing of one jⁿrgen
heckel) delivers basal, a slightly glitchy tableau inhabited by
teasing wraiths of almost-musicality. an especially intriguing
blend!
in enigmatic beauty ker35, sporadic motes and slithers are topped
with a pretty-though-obtuse layer of cut-up chimes. a somehow
slurpy rhythm spatters behind the ringing/rippling void of pe
(2:42). speckled with occasional pips of static, live recording
dek here (9:31) alights into a steamy, shifting radiance pulsing
with various levels of activity. bleeping blun emits cheerful
burbling tones and effervescent clickiness.
beaming with unknown energies, l2 simply radiates within a force
field of its own making. during parts of 9, a vaguely
harmonica-like glare and remotely guitar-esque strums appear,
making this closing number seem like a sunset campfire song from
some android homeworld, sorta.
i'm not sure how sogar manages to stir relatively obscure
soundforms into such curiously ear-catching transmissions... but
he certainly does. like an alien robot telling
not-quite-decipherable tales which are nonetheless captivating to
hear, basal's subtle eccentricities are worth a 9.0 of
appreciation.
