S3

Label: Formed Records Country: USA

"The label Antifrost already released an album by this duo in the past entitled Via vespucci. Now it's time for San Francisco-based Formed Records to present the next co-operation of these two compelling sound artists.

S3 is an album in which static noise plays the key-role. Some parts sound like digital rain, whereas other moments remind of distant noise from a motorway.

It's the detail that counts here, the minimal ultra high-pitched tones that have been added from time to time, or the hardly noticeable rumbling in the background. The music slowly gets more active, as if it's approaching. And the moment it's gone, one notices what was there. These two composers play with your perception, presenting something so fine, minimal and different from other music (sources), that it makes you start thinking about how one perceives sound and how the brain works in this process. Extreme intruiging and compelling."-Phosphor
