"Object, body, color and sound anecdote give rise to plays of
perception that envelope the listener."
Prix Ars Electronica 2001 - Mention
Prix Opus 2000-01: Disque de l'annee - finaliste
Felix 2001: Musique electronique - nomination
MiMi 2001: Musique electronique - nomination
A recording that kicks off with shrill tinkling comparable to
Maryanne Amacher's Sound Characters and comes to a dramatic
conclusion reminiscent of Come to Daddy period Aphex Twin clearly
knows no barriers. From classical, to noise, to avant-garde mouth
music, to drum 'n' bass, the genres and sub-genres are all
represented here, thick and fast on each other's heels in a
glorious welter of exquisitely produced sound.
The young Canadian composer Louis Dufort has a fascination with
cinema and a history of involvement with contemporary dance that
in part explains the extraordinarily visual nature of his work.
This is nowhere more true than the remarkable Pointe-aux-Trembles,
the second of the four pieces presented here, which gives a vivid
picture of MontrΘal oil refineries glittering against the night
sky. A marvellous sense of movement and depth is given in the
exhilarating shifts from noise to silence and back again. This is
industrial music at its best, demanding total concentration.
Elsewhere Zenith sounds like Edgar Varese on acid, all billowing
sheets of electronics and feverish incantations, uneasy and
ethereal. Transit thumps and nags in disjointed throbs that come
together cogently. Decap, with its Stimmung gabbles, its furious
shouts and growls, its Wagnerian bluster, its frenetic rhythms
that drop over an abyss into edgy silences, is totally unnerving.
An education for the ears and a tonic for the mind, a chance to
see clear visions with your eyes shut tight.
--Stewart Gott in Flux Europa
