The Wire's new super star, Geoff Mullen, is nothing new to us. Here in
Providence he's a staple at nearly any show worth seeing, but instead of
developing a solid roster of standards, every night it is something
different, he's trying something new that nobody has tried before (or at
least that he hasn't tried before...) LVD was proud to share Geoff
Mullen with the world on our 6 CD Invisible Pyramid comp, which was
shortly followed by a full length CD on Entschuldige, which has already
received much acclaim.
This second full-length CD shows Mullen working in much the same way he
does live, namely, 'The Air in Pieces' is a completely different side of
Mullen than the one we hear on his first CD and the compilation.
Comparisons come in two forms: It is easy to think of the Neil Young
that wrote the Dead Man soundtrack, just as it is easy to think of Keiji
Haino in pure guitar exploration mode (those darker Fushitsusha
moments), but it isn't musicians one thinks of when they listen to 'The
Air in Pieces'. Instead come vacant worlds, glaciers and the near
frozen ecosystems underneath them, endless skylines and silence save the
sound of your own breath.
If there is a soundtrack to that perfect, beautiful isolation, Mullen's
efforts here seem right on the mark.
