Comment: Zero a m m 0 is
a combo (Mathieu Graveline, Benoit Panneton) from Montréal, Quebec, Canada
showing up a distinct sound exploration being so characteristic for the section
of Montrèal based music collectives mainly related to Constellation
Records. Indeed, the duo exploits
post-rock layers and nowadays sonic manipulation devices to design their sound.
More concretely, those guitar based currents are channelized through the algorithm
of reverse effect, chord loops, pitch bending and on the other side varicoloured
with spoken word snippets and piano keys ranging from stomping to volatile
ones. Because all of this this batch of 3 tracks can be considered as a
transitional one trudging into the electro-acoustic, ambient and modern
classical music territory. Furthermore, there is distinctly represented also
interplay between sound and silence, between sonorous de-escalation and growing
louder into elemental, noisy peaks. The result is enjoyably consistent and
worth of any bit of it.
