about

'Different levels of silence.'

4 pieces of modern musique concrete composed from sounds made by tape machines recording and/or playing back recorded material, audio errata and/or (un-)finished field-recordings.

We can hear the kernel of tape music, the ghost within the machine and all these rare sounds that are normally erased from a finished product. We can then re-phrase the old saying that an empty cassette tape is a tuning orchestra and listen to this record once again.

'Open face loops, destroyed tape and sources from the field. Non-music, nothingness and collective decay.' TVE

'Anormal operates in different levels of silence. Upon beginning each piece, there’s a certain presence that enters the room, yet it still feels as if nothings there. As time passes by a glimpse of fuzz comes into play, then another obscure stroke of the pen, before the listener is thrust back to sterile blankness.. TVE has a clear knack for playing with the listener, a vital skill for any operation in minimalism.'

A combination of field recordings and harsh noise that focuses our attention on nature's absolute power and indifference to the individual, making what we'd ordinarily see as serene seem more like a monumental death machine. Which, in fact, it more or less is. Deferent Golgi
