███▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ - RELEASE NOTES - ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀███
█░ ░█
█░ "I'm a sucker for a good conceptual idea, and Abandon from ░█
█░ [The User] (who has previously wrote a symphony for dot ░█
█░ matrix printers) is easily one of the best that I've heard ░█
█░ in a long time. This album is a composition for the ░█
█░ abandoned Silo Number 5 grain elevator in the Port of ░█
█░ Montreal's Quai des Ecluses. A series of 88 tall empty ░█
█░ cylinders (each 8 meters in diameter and 25 meters tall), ░█
█░ the empty storage tubes were then fitted with speakers and ░█
█░ microphones and 'played' as one might play an organ pipe or ░█
█░ flute. Nicknamed, the 'Silophone,' it's a haunting places in ░█
█░ which single notes ring out over one another and ░█
█░ reverberation time spans up to nearly a half minute. ░█
█░ ░█
█░ In a situation like the above, it might be easy to dismiss ░█
█░ the whole thing as an exercise in form over function (after ░█
█░ all, how accurately can signals be played with such huge ░█
█░ derivation and lack of real control), but fortunately the ░█
█░ sheer sonics of the place make up a lot of ground in this ░█
█░ respect. Spanning 45 minutes and 9 tracks, this release ░█
█░ isn't for listeners who want an immediate fix. After all, ░█
█░ with the unique resonant frequencies of the building itself, ░█
█░ it's more about sheer sound than anything else. There are no ░█
█░ melodies to speak of, and no rhythm, only shifting tones of ░█
█░ interesting depth and timbre." -AlmostCool.org blip ░█
█░ ░█
█░ "abandon is a composition written for the abandoned Silo ░█
█░ #5 grain elevator in the Port of MontrΘal's Quai des ░█
█░ Ecluses. It's a piece of music which employs no musical ░█
█░ instruments other than the building itself, to which [The ░█
█░ User] gave the name 'Silophone.' This instrument ░█
█░ incorporates the astounding acoustics of a series of grain ░█
█░ storage cylinders, which possess a stunningly beautiful echo ░█
█░ and a reverberation time of up to twenty seconds. The ░█
█░ Silophone instrument is unique in that it is almost always ░█
█░ played at a distance, using telecommunications technologies ░█
█░ such as the internet or telephone." -Asphodel.com blip ░█
█░ ░█
█░ AlmostCool hits the essence of this album quite well. This ░█
█░ is an epic soundscape album, featuring haunting tones and ░█
█░ the wind. Quite possibly too experimental / ambient for ░█
█░ many, this is a work to be heard through nice speakers or ░█
█░ headphones, or you might lose a lot of the tonal qualities. ░█
█░ Notes on the CD packaging- there don't seem to be any ░█
█░ track listings, and it makes sense, unless [The User] wanted ░█
█░ to be artsy and give names to tones. Enjoy! ░█
