Forlorn Green

Label: erstwhile Country: USA

Kelly on trumpet and Lescalleet on tape loops and computer, recorded at different sites around Boston and reconstructed by Lescalleet"This is music that melds silence and bluster, shattered amplification and near microscopic gestures into constructions that have the presence of looming rusted steel monoliths. There is the sense of wandering in the midst of a metal sculpture studio. These improvisations bring to mind the acrid smell of arc welding, the showering sparks of grinders, and the crashing ring of hammered iron. Sounds hang and then slowly dissipate as if captured in some vast and empty factory. This is not the forceful, monolithic sound of industrial noise, but rather an extended experiment into the vast gradations of sonic attack and decay. "-Michael Rosenstein, Signal to Noise
