Comment: The collaborative act between Obasquiat, and
Dancing Deadlips has spawned two compositions. Every Time, All the Time
is long-running and by its nature it is fairly oneiric based on otherworldly
hypnotic vowel effects which in turn are amplified by sublime yet reverberating
echoes and occasional sounds of the shakers; thereafter it starts off again,
this time with the plucking of strings which in turn are reverb-drenched again
which are accompanied by even more hypnotic vowel effects. The composition is
besieged by the short spans of silence. Maurice Unraveled (what a quip!)
is remarkably shorter and more acute because the piece starts off with more
turbulent progressions involving rusty loops and a strident improvised noise
snippet. The chaos might be mother of the order to prompt the artists to finish
in the roundabout manner (more profoundly, finishing off with the
aforementioned corroded loops). The result is bewildering and obviously
compelling the listener to come back and enter its threshold once again. All in all, it is a great listening time.
