--------------
CD limited to 500 numbered copies.
Deluxe digifile sleeve + booklet containing exclusive short stories
by Brian Evenson and Mathias Delplanque.
Cover art by Ray Caesar.
Three sonic trajectories which tie and untie. Three creative entities to
orchestrate the whole. John Sellekaers (Xingu Hill, Dead Hollywood Stars),
Daniel De Los Santos (Tamarin) and Mathias Delplanque (Lena, Bidlo) open
us the door to a universe whose maze conceals a multitude of other doors.
Some are half-open, others are closed and many are, at first sight,
invisible. As we explore further, we must let those secret doors some
time to take shape, to reveal themselvesàand it will then be possible to
fix our attention on various aspects of the sound labyrinth that is
presented to us, to come and go while letting ourselves be carried by
the waves and the modulations, which then become our exploratory vehicle
and form one body with us in the journeyàIndeed, many doors are hidden,
but they are awaiting to be discovered, probedàBehind them, fullness or
emptinessà
Here, John Sellekaers, Daniel De Los Santos and Mathias Delplanque have
concocted a sound fabric which explores the tangents uniting or
dissociating ælowercase soundÆ, drone and dark ambient. Where does each
of those styles start, where does it end? No one could tell...
Nevertheless, HIDDEN DOORS brings its share of answersàin a very personal
way: lots of textures, palpable ambiences, subtle drifts. The whole is
produced in an elegant and stylish fashion.
