Andrew Tuttle, who is Anonymeye, used to
live in Brisbane; John McCaffrey, who is
Part Timer, used to live in Northern
England; both now live in Melbourne.
This is more relevant to this split CD-R
than it may seem: the four tracks on
Silhouettes 3 (one from Tuttle and three
from McCaffrey) all deal, consciously or
otherwise, with the notion of
displacement and the peculiarities of
belonging.
TuttleÆs contribution, a ten-minute
improvisation titled æStop 122, Line
1/8Æ, sees his folky fingerpicking
become (not cruelly) subjected to a raft
of real-time effects and signal
processing. The track revels in
imperfection û as Tuttle slowly builds
its rhythmic skeleton by layering and
looping his playing, his every minor
stumble (this is improv, after all) is
given tenure, maintaining the acoustic
guitarÆs inherent humanity even as it is
almost subsumed by waves of crackling
digital feedback.
Similarly, Part Timer smashes apart the
fundamental elements of folksong and
reassembles them into frail collages.
His three tracks are an eclectic
collection, from the ghostly vocals and
chopped-up guitar of æAsthmatic Throat
ClutchingÆ to the almost Telefon Tel
Aviv-esque æUpbeat And Happy People Make
Bad CompanyÆ (awesome title, that).
æBetween DecisionsÆ is the discÆs most
straightforward piece: McCaffrey applies
the subtlest nips and tucks to a bright,
summery guitar line and lays the results
over the top of distant, clattery field
recordings. ItÆs so, so simple and yet û
like the other three tracks here û so
incredibly beautiful thatÆs itÆs hard
not to declare it a small slice of
genius.
