'Processing Other Perspectives' is the second release on mosz
after his debut 'Welcome To My World' from 2004. For this
album Szely has asked some of his friends and music mates for
bits and bytes and parts which he later recorded and processed
according to the idea of field recording. The result is a
composition that can be heard as one whole part. But for CD
listening it is divided into 8 themes that can be edited
separately.
Among the contributors are numerous well-known musicians
likeThilges' Nik Hummer, longtime music activist Wolfgang
Kopper,Bernhard Loibner,Martin Siewert, Ulrich Troyer and
fantastic singer and performer Melita Jurisic from Australia.
She sings on theme-8 which is a remittance work for Austrian
fine artist Thomas Feuerstein who recently curated the
exhibition 'Daemons' at Magazin4 in Bregenz, Austria. Szely
composed this highly pathetic piece based on the lyrics
written by Feuerstein himself. Melita Jurisic's marvellous
timbre that is able to turn from daemon-like to angelic tones
gives this piece this very dramatic note that hasn't been
heard before within the work of Szely.
Szely developed his multichannel composing and became more
complex on his second album.The recorded and processed
instrumental and voice parts are arranged in a more structured
manner so that the particular themes get dominantly rhythmic,
vivid, drifting, atmospheric and sometimes pictoral or
melancholic. Some parts within the several themes are repeated
in some other theme slightly altered. The whole album
demonstrates Szely's approach to pop music in the context of
electronic music with a background of multichannel sound
architectural work.
For Szely popular music has always meant the idea of
expedition, expansion of borders
and search for new sound synthesis. It was only a logic
consequence to give room to this searching on the new album.
'Processing Other Perspectives' is the result of an important
decision of Szely - instead of working alone, in a solipstic
way, in the studio for months, he invited friends and
collegues to provide sound material [samples, voice[,
basically as a communicative act, also in the way of field
recording out of which Szely created his themes.
Szely's 'Processing Other Perspectives' is an attempt to go
new paths, an attempt to re-define the concept of popular
music apart from the mainstream.
