| "Following a prolonged absence, Phillippe PetitÆs Bip-Hop |
| Generation project returns with the first volume in a new series, |
| the first collection having ended at volume six. Given the break, |
| one might have expected some significant change, conceptual or |
| otherwise, from the first series but in fact thereÆs little |
| different save the more minimalistic packaging design. As in the |
| past, six or seven artists appear, a mixture of the familiar and |
| the lesser-known, with each allocated ten minutes, and the |
| generous offerings topping out at just under eighty minutes. This |
| time around, Emisor, Fonica, Fm3, and Ghislain Poirier are |
| bookended by the more established Taylor Deupree and Janek |
| Schaefer, but all make credible contributions. |
| |
| 12k label head Taylor Deupree opens the set with three tracks, all |
| in his customary tactile, textural style. His music is typically |
| labeled minimal but, at least in this case, that seems both |
| inaccurate and inadequate as the tracks exhibit a perpetual |
| restlessness and even (in ôStreet/Lightö) aggressiveness. |
| Certainly the crackles bursting atop the blurry, wavering drone in |
| the meditative ôSlowö suggest that the microsound label is |
| ill-applied here. Argentinean Emisor (Leonardo Ramella) is up next |
| and, of the six artists featured, his pieces are the most |
| conventionally structured. In all cases, fuzzy bass patterns |
| establish a stable, often lurching base while flurries of activity |
| appear above, panning seething wipes and descending percussive |
| rolls in ôQuerer Liberaö and static stutter and skitter in |
| ôBordando.ö The next two contributors hail from Japan and China |
| respectively. Fonica (Kelichi Sugimoto and Cheason from Tokyo) |
| contribute the 12k-like composition ôScoot,ö a slow, meditative |
| piece of icy tones, pinging burbles, and ambient chords that |
| builds in density and volume over the course of its twelve |
| minutes. By comparison, Fm3, a Beijing-based collective of |
| computer and classical musicians fronted by Christiaan Virant, |
| integrates traditional Chinese instruments into meditative |
| soundscapes, and thereby creates music thatÆs more directly |
| associative with its membersÆ homeland. While the groupÆs two |
| pieces represent its recording debut, theyÆre alsoùmysterious, |
| portentous, mystical, and unsettlingùthe strongest of the |
| collection. In ôP.pa,ö moody strums and extended Doppler tones |
| emerge through a dense cloud as the sharp plucks of a Chinese |
| stringed instrument, perhaps a pipa, slice through the fog. |
| ôZhengö begins with the looped rhythm of crackle, the needle |
| loudly gouging into the vinyl surface, while a pipa moodily strums |
| and plucked tones count time metronomically. We visit Montreal |
| next for three pieces from Ghislain Poirier, known for album |
| releases on 12k, Chocolate Industries, and intr_version. His |
| lovely ôCaresser un cercleö features melancholy organ melodies |
| accompanied by laconic hip-hop-inflected beats, while a male voice |
| provides sensual French recitation over an ambient collage of rain |
| showers, rumbles, and animal croaks in ôLa danse du plaisir.ö |
| Assembled from sounds collected in six cities over six months, |
| ôVasulka VaubanÆs æA Day in the Good LifeÆö by Janek Schaefer ends |
| the disc in fine fashion. Beginning with a cacophony of vehicle |
| and other assorted noises, the piece momentarily quietens before |
| building again until its industrial array of vinyl crackle, storm |
| sounds, and electrical wire drones segues into a uniform, surging |
| mass of ruffling clatter and thrum before ending with soft |
| rumbles. |
| |
| Aside from the packaging design, is there anything else that |
| differentiates volume seven from its predecessors? Not a lot, |
| aside from the obvious stylistic differences associated with the |
| artists, although the latest installment does tend to hew slightly |
| more to a style of meditative minimalism whereas each in the first |
| series includes marked contrasts in artistsÆ styles. Volume one, |
| for example, ranges between MarumariÆs melodic electropop, GoemÆs |
| minimal drones, and PhonemÆs distinctive beat patterns. In light |
| of that precedent, more contrast could have been introduced had |
| PoirierÆs tracks been more in the style of 2003Æs Conflits. But |
| noting the presence of a more unified overall sound amounts to an |
| observation in this case rather than a criticism. Volume sevenÆs |
| modicum of surprises is ably compensated for by its musical |
| satisfactions." |
