Comment: as the title might suggest there is
obviously no balance between aesthetical levels and moods. Indeed, by listening
to this 7-bar issue it is a rapidly changing conception with regard to styles,
moods and anything else you will come face to face with. More genuinely, it is
a drift between silence and noise, between rising and descending, between
restlessness and serenity. Musically, it is mottled like a beautiful cat in
his/her colours. More profoundly, the listener is pulled into angular yet
wondrous (modern) classical music-alike compositions which might remind of the
works by Dave Keifer aka Cagey House at times, for instance. Similarly to Dave
Keifer, Jared C. Balogh is one of the most prolific and proficient artists
within the webaudio/free music culture compartment. There are represented
something of stretched art pop snippets which are mixed up with more heavy-weight,
angst loaded metallic lashes, storytelling and subtle electronic whiffs
flitting around in. Frequently it sounds as evil and revengeful as the Old
Testament used to depict. Throughout the course, it is the pre-dominant shift
of constituting the whole. One is sure – it is some sort of anti-pop music and
you would not be very welcomed to enter into it while being a superficial, brainwashed
jerk. The issue includes a possibly leftfield pop hit, called Blazing Paths. In a nutshell, it is both
beatific and frightening world Jared C. Balogh creates through this album, his
previous issues and collaborations and his curated site Altered State Of Mine.
