_______________________________________________________________________
The Drone Works series is an ever growing collection of CDRs
that are burnt to order and available exclusively from Twenty
Hertz. All releases are visually cohesive and come minimally
packaged in a vinyl sleeve with a gloss print insert, that may
or may not hint at the origin of the sounds. They are all
approximately 20 minutes long and consist of slowly shifting
minimal drones. Other than a number and the artists name, no
information will be given as to their content and they will
have no catalogue number.
REVIEWS
Touching Extremes
All things considered, Matt Waldron's contribution to Twenty
Hertz's "Drone works" ongoing saga has probably to be regarded
as the best until now. Picture a conglomerate of scorching
vibrations coming from what sounds like bowed metals sheets
and strings, whose impressive force resembles a cross of Dave
Jackman/Organum's best stuff - I'm thinking of "Birds' wings
were glued to their bodies" in particular - and a sweeter
version of Tony Conrad's aggressive violin "Oms". The piece is
fantastic, a ruthless quivering surrounding our body with
vehemence but also harmonically evolved, in the spirit of the
"right" reiterative music of our time. Such a listening
experience can seriously alter your perceptive channels and is
useful to separate the drone masters from their cheap
imitators. Irr. App. (Ext.) should release a boxset worth of
these majestically emotional overtones; play loud. Massimo

Number 489
Despite being around for some time, Matt Waldron, aka
Irr.app.(ext.) is still not a household name, which is a pity.
He has a couple of solo releases on labels as Fire Inc and
Helen Scardale, and has played with Steve Stapleton's Nurse
With Wound on a rare concert in Vienna recently. On 'Drone
Works #10', perhaps the final release in this series, he plays
a single, twenty-one minute drone piece, starting out with
humming in Asia, but slowly guitars played with fans, bows or
e-bows (or some such or maybe all together) take over and
built a majestic drone piece. The piece is much louder, top
heavy under it's weight, than the usual pieces in this series.
Harsh but non-violent, this is more Tony Conrad than Brian
Eno, if you catch my drift. A masterpiece and if this is the
end of the series, it doesn't end with a breeze but with a
nice electric storm. (FdW) http://www.staalplaat.com/vital/
