CDr edition of 100
Hand-made paper cover and insert
This is Nigel Wright's first release, comprised of six very
dense and beautiful throbbing tonal pieces.
Artist Bio:
Nigel Wright is an Auckland based artist making texturally
ambiguous, loop-based improvised pieces. The majority of his
work is focused around the transformation of short loops into
thick pieces of sonic matter, combining sounds from many
different sources to create cyclic pieces with no definite
beginning/end reference points.
Press
Fuck, first there was Celebrate Psi Phenemona, and then
Pseudoarcana jumped into the fray, and now CMR is the latest
label to start releasing super limited edition cd-r's from the
New Zealand underground of improv free-noise, lo-fi drone
scraping, and damaged sound art. Not to be confused with the
Andrew Lloyd Webber associate of the same name, the Auckland
based Nigel Wright focuses on loop-based systems which he
transforms into miasmic drones. It's hard to say if those
looping systems refer to feedbacking loops (which is possible
as there is a cyclical sine-wave feel to many of Wright's
sounds) or to a Terry Riley time-lag accumulation (which is
also possible with all of the crystaline percolations that
ripple through the dronescaping); regardless of the process,
Wright's eponymous debut recording alternates between deadened
electrical atmospherics and beautifully blissed out
driftscapes. Fans of BJ Nilsen, Oren Ambarchi, and Jonathan
Coleclough should take note! Limited to 100 copies only!
