Comment:
this 9-track monster by
Argentinian musician and trumpet player Ramon Moro could
be imagined in different ways. Firstly, it is a neoclassical and dark
ambient composition with dodges into something remarkably madder and
ominous which frequently reject classification and
simple logic output.
Secondly, it is a mourning
post-industrial record with
hints at spaced-out rock and orchestrated music. The
layers is getting
incessantly piled on throughout
the course ranging from dull
yet arousing droning and emotive blackened ambient to menacing forms
of shoegazing and
reverberating ambient rock. DaRKRam is both adept in creating
climactic moments and manipulating
on feelings of the
suspenseful listener while
the premisses set up by Moro
used to progress stepwise to
its unforeseeable consequences.
The soundscape of him used
to bulge and thump, used to dilate and soothe. In a word, it is
filled with many putative
contradictions though all
these ones
are merged into an organic, mesmerizing whole. Given
that the issue could be considered a general issue to gather together
the artist’s ideas. From within on I guess DaRKRam does have many
ways to develop on more
in a specific manner. One of
such ways could be heard at
XVI
wherein the artist resorts to a motorik rhythmic pattern to round out
the improvised buildup. A sort of psychedelic music is also embedded
in that. It is just a
possibility for an accomplished musician
to bring fort his/her ingenious side.
And the cover print of it
seems to be as if extracted from a horror movie – it is captivating
in its awe. At the moment,
however, it is one of the most striking and brilliant issues in
2016 so far. Like ancient
Americans used to say for
such a fine-grained appearance:
holy shit. The issue is a
part of the discography of Kermesse Records.
