Of the continuing themes found throughout the music
released on MINUS, one constant exploration is the
relationship between Sound and Silence. Within the
stripped down but dimensional outcome there exists a
polarity that is neither controlled nor accidental, where
life imitates art in between the notes. The act of
finding inspiration from a sonic molecule or the
inaudible space around that element is the nature of
EXPANSION | contraction.
Dubfire (Ali, ex-Deep Dish) enters the EXPANSION with the
tremendous ôEmissionsö. This is his first track to be
released on Minus and is the culmination of his
gravitation towards the Minus sound cemented by a
friendship over the years with label head Richie Hawtin.
Gaiser again hits the mark with ôMuteö, which captures
the excitement of his storming live shows throughout 2007
and is taken from the sessions that spawned his
forthcoming double pack release ôEye Contactö (M54).
Currently æon fireÆ Marc Houle continues his own musical
expansion with ôPorchö, following up and going beyond his
ôExtremeö (Items and Things 02) and the monstrous ôTechno
Vocals/On Itö (M50) double-header.
Plastikmans Risk Assessment begins the contraction with a
simmering builder of a track guaranteed to disconcert
even the most sonically prepared of listeners. Jesse
Siminski aka Heartthrob is right back on form and
contributes the growling funk beast that is Roundabout.
While JPLSs Isolate contracts further and establishes him
as one of the darker elements on the Minus roster, his
soon-come Minus EP Fuckshuffle (M57) bears testament to
his highly developed sound.
Troy Pierces gargantuan Oxytocin takes up the gauntlet
thrown down by his own twisted Gone Astray (M52) release
from the summer, and wraps up the CD somewhere exactly
in-between the concept where EXPANSION | contraction
first started.
Evidently, the listener can discern here that all the
artists featured on Expansion | contraction are fully
experimenting with the balance, interaction and interplay
between these two opposing forces. To complement the
music on this release, the accompanying artwork maps out
the boundless possibilities of in-between potential.
