From Boomkat:
Following last month's release by the
Tape loop Orchestra, Relmic Statute is
the latest addition to the Cotton Goods
label, and as ever, the standards of
hand-made packaging continue to be
raised by the label. This time around
you have to negotiate your way through a
card folder embossed with the label's
logo before reaching a thicK cardboard
casing which holds the now customary
hand-numbered ID card and a cut-out
page, snipped from some long-forgotten
text. Once you're finally in, you
discover that this latest edition
(limited to 100 copies for the world)
comes from Leeds-based artist David
Horner, who records under the moniker
Remic Statute, assembling lulling,
grainy soundscapes based on the splicing
of field recordings collected from
cassettes and old 1/4-inch tape. The
likes of 'Cupboard Music' take on a
scrapbook-like, collaged approach to
sound-sculpting, taking muffled tones,
mini-torrents of hiss and lo-fi
cracklings as a means of establishing an
atmosphere of cosy, domestic calm.
Although this sort of material tends to
be evocative of a very homely, cocoon-
like quality, elsewhere Horner ventures
so far as his window, documenting the
seemingly endless, trickling downpour of
'A Change In The Atmosphere' and 'The
Leaves Of The Pel Thraine Cemetery'. On
this latter recording the weather joins
with a variety of more musical and
manmade sounds; it serves as a great
example of how Horner merges his own
instrumental dabblings with incidental
sounds, where both synthetic and natural
timbres seem to mimic one another. In a
slightly different strand of his work,
Horner draws William Basinski-inspired
worn-out loops from 'Flor-Ewue1932',
droning in a suitably enigmatic,
decaying fashion, going on to
demonstrate another facet of his talent
by the time he reaches pieces such as
'Small Song' and 'Tapeloop2' - both of
which dig out clear-cut melodies, all
channelled through the deteriorating,
crumbled tape that adds so much rich
character to these compositions. All we
can say is, Hurry.
