i had just finished listening to alva noto's excellent 'xerrox'
release on raster noton, when i plucked this little 4 track
gem out of its cover and placed it in my cd player.
imagine my surprise then, at the strange correspondences
between the two releases... from the elegantly paced, and
lilting geometry of ≤ ceallaigh's 'ecclesia semper reformanda',
to the visceral, needle-sharp textural backing and finely
sketched, loopy washes skittering in the background, this
20 minute mini disc would not be out of place next to the
great mr noto in any collection.
some of the looping is a little skewed, but as with any release
of this kind, it only adds charm and character. the second
piece, 'spatial' is a blurry, soft focus blend of tones, that
segues neatly into 'steel string + static', and closing piece
'perpetuum mobile'- a highly reduced piece of atmospherica,
that shifts perspective, dripping in warmth and light, peppered
with tonal presences and shimmering sampling. a very nice
piece of work indeed, a worthy release, and a label that
deserves your attention.
limited to 50 for this world. go buy.
