(ghost) - A Vast and Decaying Appearance

 

a1243809446_16.jpg

 

US-based electronic producer Brian Froh first emerged under his (ghost) alias last year with his debut album ‘Departure’ on n5MD, and a scant year on this second album ‘A Vast And Decaying Appearance’ sees him expanding the depth and scope of his productions considerably further. Despite its fearsome sounding title however, the ten tracks here often see Froh venturing out into more gentle and contemplative soundscapes based around blurred ambient textures. In particular though, it’s the incorporation of (occasionally untreated) guitar elements into these tracks that sets this album apart from a lot of the other post-IDM explorations of the n5MD label, injecting a slight post-rock feel that adds a palpably human feel and warmth to the often brittle and icy electronics.

 

‘780.03’ slowly unfurls this album with gently chiming guitar strings gradually bleeding into a background wash of blurred-out ambient textures as distant unintelligible voices emerge somewhere in the distance. ‘4blend’ meanwhile sees rattling glitchy rhythms and sudden corkscrewing DSP effects adding a chaotic undercurrent to the serene glassy synth chords that drift beneath. Elsewhere ‘Transmit’ sees Froh flexing some more rhythmic muscle with a streamlined glide through juddering kickdrums and scissoring broken rhythms that sees sparse brooding bass pads and distant guitar echoes adding a suitably dark undertone to the phased synth tones that waft in the foreground like smoke. Finally the aptly-titled ‘Dreaming Is Enough’ closes this album gently with a languid drift through delicately ebbing ambient tones and subtle guitar chords that sees a slow thudding bass drum echoing through the cavernous mix as hints of treated vocal textures whisper at the very edges. An impressive second album that sees Froh substantially expanding his approach and maintaining a increasingly warm edge to his intricate productions.

Čarobno.

Don't think of understanding as a 'mental process' at all. Rather ask yourself: in what kind of case, under what circumstances do we say "now i can go on".

Digitonal - Beautiful Broken

 

hqdefault.jpg

 

The length of time that Beautiful Broken has taken has been its saving grace,” says Digitonal’s Andy Dobson. “I don’t feel any pressure to align myself to the zeitgeist any more and that’s very liberating. I have made mistakes in the past where I would contrive certain things to fit in with a certain scene, but I feel happy with the new album, because it’s me through and through.”

Beautiful Broken is Digitonal’s fifth album since he first started recording and playing live under that name in 1997, and the first all-new release since 2008’s Save Your Light For Darker Days. Since then Dobson has released the retrospective, Be Still My Bleeping Heart, written and scrapped an entire album, and for Beautiful Broken has composed new material and finished off some incomplete compositions.

The typical Digitonal process sees the pieces transformed from largely improvised works-in-progress played live to more structured studio creations. This can take some time. ’We Three’ dates back to a live prototype from 2004.

With long-time collaborator, violinist Samy Bishai currently working on a number of other musical projects and less Digitonal live work in recent years, the compositions have taken longer to evolve, and so Beautiful Broken has become essentially a Dobson solo venture.

Dobson is a classically trained clarinettist and former chorister, and the clean lines of minimalism and Early Music in particular have informed his role as an Electronica producer. Following a concert at the Union Chapel, London, in 2014, Dobson was most excited about a particular section in which the musicians played acoustically and so he decided to try to recreate that feel.

Beautiful Broken evokes the subtlety and self-contained intimacy of chamber music, but as befits his recent reconnection with Ambient, these elements move slowly through a cool electronic space. But what defines Ambient for him is the literal meaning of the word more than a particular musical genre, specifically the expanse of sound that he experienced singing in a choir in a candlelit Durham Cathedral.

This combination of sonic influences make Beautiful Broken Digitonal’s most original album to date. Although it’s not a radical departure, Dobson has realigned his approach. He admits that he has also gone back to minimalism in a big way and ‘Eighteen’ is a buoyant mesh of clarinet, tuned percussion and drum patterns, and an overt homage to Steve Reich’s epochal minimalist work, Music For Eighteen Musicians.

Apart from Bishai’s violin and Dobson’s own clarinet and keyboards, the instrumentalists on Beautiful Broken are Kat Avery (harp), and Georgina Hoare and Ivan Hussey (cello). In line with the prevailing chamber mood, Dobson has guarded against over orchestrating, with the emphasis more on pared down written parts: the composition ‘Luna’, for example, is completely scored. Similarly, breakbeats have largely been replaced by more intricate microbeats.

There’s a melancholy, a bitter-sweetness to Digitonal’s music, and whichever way Dobson’s particular balance of acoustic and electronic sounds tips in the future, he is currently searching for the kind of emotional narrative and sense of connection that one gets from songs. He certainly goes a long way towards achieving that on the affecting compositions on Beautiful Broken.

“I’ve always wanted to make music that’s emotive for me and the audience,” he explains. “I think it’s quite difficult with electronic music, to get the right blend. But that’s what I’m always working towards.”

Jako dosadan album. Jednom sam ga preslušao, nadam se da će mi se nešto dopasti kada budem smogao snage da slušam opet.
