“With Complex Silence 6, ambient magician Mister Vapor puts his trademark Industrial Ambient stamp upon the Series. This mesmerizing long-form work has a deeply groaning drone at its foundation, while drifting and whispering higher-toned textures render a swirling, rushing atmosphere. In the middle, the constant, unending hum of a giant generator or cosmic wheel grinds slowly but purposefully onward, sometimes hinting at an unseen darkness or mystery looming somewhere beyond. All these layers mean this piece has plenty of different focal points for your listening pleasure.”
“Fans of Mister Vapor, as well as fans of Industrial Ambient and Experimental works will no doubt love this fantastic rendition (and decidedly abstract interpretation) of Complex Silence. With its definite sense of driving motion and direction from beginning to end, Complex Silence 6 is a wild, fun ride with Mister Vapor at the helm–where no Complex Silence has gone before!”- Phillip Wilkerson, 2010.

A very finetuned atmospheric minimal glitch collaboration by Ukrainian artists .at/on and v4w.enko.
This release also includes a number of audio visuals by v4w.enko and aiuto, which puts the music in the context of smooth colorful glitch designs, combining hardware sound with max/msp signal processing.
The result is a strangely effective, stunning collection of warm experimental glitch ambient that incites with minimum effort.

Being somewhat familiar with Daniel’s table of approaches, the first time I listened to these pieces I thought I would have some idea what to expect, though after many listens I feel none the wiser. Working within minimal means, Daniel is able to craft myriad sounds from a small pallete of malfunctioning electricals. For me, the wonder is held within the structure, the sounds suspended within the pieces heightened physiognomy.
There is always a constant at work, whether the low end hum or its opposite, something hidden in old equipment, snatched together much like the vogelkop bowerbird which will collect particular hues to decorate his bower, the objects strewn about analogous to the idiosyncratic sound sources collated and ‘thrown’ about by Jones.
Daniel is a joyful artist and person, one who is always seeking new ideas and finding them whether he realises it or not. That is where the beauty lies in these pieces, their unassumingness, shifting between both elation and wonderment, although I would say he doesn’t perceive any of the boundaries.

wondering of notice takes care
besides the point to that past second
bath of her dressed in leather pockets
while stretching rubber snaps the uttered life

Ianua, a Latin word meaning door, passage…word that gives origin to the name of the god Ianus;
the god of the beginnings, material and immaterial…
A door from which to observe every possibility, a door that conducts to the endless evolutions of the ideas…
A world that always goes, moving itself in circle…departing from itself, to itself returns …
In this work, we can observe the birth of the silence and its continuous evolution until the return in its native form, almost as a dream,
the acceptance of its own consistence, the respect of its own intrinsic integrity…Purity…

As soon as you are going to reflect on the silence in order to give a definition,
it is clear the complexity and importance of the concept.
The silence you usually defined as a state of rest for the termination of any sound or noise.
But when it stops any noise, when you do not hear apparently any sound, one can not speak properly of “quiescent” since there are many phenomenas
that escape our perception not to speak of everything that happens within us
both physically and mentally …
Silence is not synonymous of emptiness but a generator, an integral part of everything.
”anechoid” has the objective to expose the silence,
to re-create a neutral sound environment but at the same time,
to give the possibility to observe its intrinsic characteristics ,
the hidden aspects to our perception of physical impossibilities.
To create scores of silence, recordings of what we hear as if we were locked in a totally silent ambient,
or rather, seemingly devoid of sound in honor of the innate ability to make music
without implying a single act but, simply existing.

The music improvised by SAP(e) is entirely centred around a certain ideal of the listening experience.
What this ideal means is basically a total belief in the sonic experience as a perception. Music is not made to be functional; it does not have to fulfil any spiritual or physical needs, apart from what is really heard. What is heard is what only matter. In this aspect, our music is not by any means conceptual, nor it is only emotional. Our music only exist in the perception of the listener, there is nothing else. The perception is the place where occurs the imagination, the sensibility, in other words the music.
Being obsessed by what is perceived when we play, it became quite logical then that we are also obsessed with dramaturgy. We are playing some kind of restricted sonic landscapes at low volume in a very minimal way, but we are not playing drone. We are improvising music that always seeks to match a certain formal accomplishment, which –basically- tries to go somewhere. Needless to say that it doesn’t always work perfectly, this is improvised, thus imperfect. Finally, the recording is a capture of a moment; it has to be considered as this, no more no less.

Following last week’s Thomas Koner’s mentioning of longitude/lattitude’s in the piece, this compilation, the second in a series, does the same. Each of the ten pieces is a favorite place for the composer. They are also mentioned by the place it is, although then its still not easy to know what it is, except of course ‘my bed’ by He Can Jog. I could of course install google’s earth view thingy, but then I rather listen and imagine these places myself. Oh oops. The booklet provides me with pictures and descriptions of each of the places, which is a nice read. If you read these, you might think that this is a CD of purely field recordings, as there are references to recording dates/times, but I guess that’s when the basic material has been recorded, which was later manipulated. Throughout one can say that these ten composers all belong to the world of microsound, with their minimalist, electronic processing of the original field recordings. Sometimes we hear a bit of rainfall, bird twitter, people talking or snooring in ‘my bed’. Not much news under the sun in terms of music, but throughout I must say this is a nice compilation of well made field recordings, microsound and electronics. Including Lawrence English, Yannick Franck, Micheal Santos, Icarus, Sawako, Jeremy Bible, Austitici, Calika and Micheal Trommer. (FdW) Vital Weekly 696
