Austere drone / sound collage / aural texture. The two pieces here (one
at 50 min, the other at 30) fuse ideas from contemporary minimalism
(Bernard G╦nter, Annea Lockwood, etc.), Japanese noise artists (such as
Aube) and 20th century classical (Ligetti, Pendereki, etc.) to create
slowly evolving soundscapes that occasionally build to crescendos or
reveal accidental harmony.
Yermo made up the electronic aspects of MCMS (LVD 061) and has had
previous releases on LVD as well as Birchville Cat Motel's Celebrate Psi
Phenomena label.
"Yermo offer up a glorious wash of cascading upper register dreaminess,
like the sound of rubbed champagne glasses, crystalline and delicate,
over an mesmerising thrum that subtly oscillates, creating an hypnotic
almost-rhythm. The whole thing slowly builds in intensity until it's a
howling storm of feedback and buzz, dotted with thick bursts of jagged
NOISE, all washing over you in a wave of thick warm sound. Fans of
Total, Vibracathedral Orchestra, Sunroof!, the Dead C and the like bset
start paying close attention to Yermo, 'cause they have yet to
disappoint!"
--Aquarius Records
"...a wall of shimmering skree and ear tickling high end with a muted,
throbbing hum underneath. The track drifts further and further into
space as sound particles seem to be pulled apart and the soundscape is
stretched taut to the point of being almost transparent, like a swarm of
insects or a fleet of helicopters buzzing waaaaaay off in the distance.
By the fifteen minute mark, the sound expands and deepens as moaning
'2001: A Space Odyssey'-ish thrum buzzes and circles, like floating
through space or being lost in the depths of an enormous cavern."
--Aquarius Records
