Comment: it is great to be back
again at the catalogue of Test Tube, a fine imprint within the
web-audio world. Paolo Veneziani is an experienced musician who has
been producing music for approximately twenty years. His 8-track
outing
204 is something which used to flicker between rhythms
and textures, between more comforting moods and more edgy electronic
vibes, between buried sonic elements and quite startling effects,
though these elements are aligned densely or placed on top of each
other on occasion. It is especially characteristic at the ending
track
(next life) where the
silent pause is followed by an erratic, spasmodic electronic torrent.
Paolo Veneziani is poignant
by describing his children with proper names. For instance, the
opening track
Frenetic Indecision
is about cut-up breaks and hirsute glitches allowing
no permission to land within
the first minute of the track. However,
the composition will be channelized into a fabulous psychedelic
kraut-techno flicker. Indeed, it does have an elegant indecisive
intention to thrive through different dots and loops. The same could
be said about the rest of the issue as well. Fortunately the inner
configuration of the compositions is set up in a way to hold their
integrity due to frantic
dynamics
and also being united by
similar spirituality and deconstructed parts of having similarity
across the tracks.
Slender
is a contemporary counterpart
of minimal synth with exquisite (even
tongue-in-cheek) shades of
lo-fi, and DIY aesthetic. At
Orange Drops
the influence comes out from the German kling-klang and
Kraftwerk-esque aesthetic, however, as a wise artist, Veneziani
does it in seminal way. It is
what we could call retro(futuristic) musicvon
its own. By the way, there is
a track,
From The Past
wherein atmospheric layers are rounded out by intense feedback
effects and shrill signals.
It is painful and ennobling at the same moment. All of that
represented over there is about loading and thereafter it is let out.
Ejaculated staggeringly.
Eargasmic one. The same could be said about the issue in general. The
frantic loop indeed.
