Septs Vents is not an album that can be described in
earthly measures, nor does it follow any specific
song-writing rules. Instead, the eleven tracks seem
to have a life of their own, constantly evolving and
changing according to an internal set of parametres.
Its strange sounds and textures make it impossible to
associate with our known world, and its inaccessible
titles only add to the mystery surrounding the music.
Nacht Plank seems to have sourced his sonic raw
material from deep woods and underground tunnels,
where mysterious life forms breed and grow. He then
processes them to craft his own wordless stories in
the form of these songs. Assembled within hours, they
manage to distill, like a magic time capsule, the
essence of eternity in a few minutes. On a careful
listen one is able to recognize, briefly, familiar
sounds; a cricket in a hot summer night, boats
dancing in moving waters. Blended with carefully
filtered piano and guitar recordings and surrounded
by an ensemble of vintage synthesizers, they are the
basic ingredients of each track. All these samples
and sounds are then repeated and layered after they
are given their place in the song. Nacht Plank's
music does not only exist within those samples, but
in the space between them and in the way they
interact with each other. Similar to Eisenstein's
montage theory about film content, he has found his
own formula that lies behind each of these tracks,
holding it together.
Lee Norris has created, under the Nacht Plank
moniker, a warm and crunchy album full of otherwordly
ambience and nostalgia. As Septs Vents unravels
itself, it draws us into its timeless universe
evoking the qualities of objects unearthed years
after they've been buried. Its looping melodies and
sample patterns resemble coded messages from a
long-forgotten spaceship, trapped in a far away
Galaxy. Forever locked in its orbit, it transmits
broken signals from worn out tapes that only a
sensitive ear like Nacht Plank's could receive.
