Comment: these
53 minutes and 4 compositions are “dedicated” to nuclear
accidents in the atomic energy plants around the world. More
profoundly, at Lucens (1969), Chernobyl (1986), Kyshtym (1957), Three
Mile Island (1979), and most recently at Fukushima Daiichi (2011).
These are probably the most remarkable ones though smaller accidents
may have been happening. Shit happens if people are doing things even
if these processes are indispensable because of the mooch of the
human induced economy is going to move on without possibility getting
to decelerate the process. I do not think of it the nuclear reactors
must be shut down just measures to avoid such sort of disasters
should be even more enhanced and possible deviations to be foreseen.
However, musically I tagged it as an instance of post-industrial
music among the other classifications. Furthermore, one can figure it
out in a very straight way. The music over there is to depict
industrialized scenes being abandoned by human beings. Besides having
gotten informed factually and chronologically about these highly
clutch and events the audible result is staggering – lots of memory
loaded hisses and glitches, arousing sonic effects, concrete music drenched glimpses, metallic drones
at times being variegated with orchestrations and less abrasive
electronics. These 53 minutes is a subtle play with shades between
darkness and lightness, between a burden and redemptive freeing. The
adverse effects are adeptly converted into a state of art. The issue
is a part of the discography of Murmure Intemporel. Behind the nom de
plume is Jean-Luc Hervé Berthelot, a prolific artist within the
netlabel scene for many years.
