Comment: if to compare this 7-notch outing
to H Stewart`s
Letter to Kansas City (2011, Folksoundomy)
being commented yesterday at RMH one can find out some gross
similarities. First of all, it involves chords induced by a keyboard
and this in turn is being wrapped up by austere, glitched-out noise
clouds wiggling and wobbling like an outing by a rabid composer of
having gotten back his/her inspiration recently and now he/she is
very enthusiastic to flood a track with a bunch of different bits and
methods. Gaga over. Lady Gaga over? No, it is a different, more
subtle story with regard to the superstar. On the other side, if
Letter to Kansas City can be considered the songwriter album
of H Stewart so far then
Hybrid does not provide focus on
lyrics. There is up one track which chimes like a record from a
nightmarish comedy session being backed up by gruesome electronic
music and at times there are up some snippets of spoken word.
However, having your ears to be set on these compositions more
closely you can feel true richness of the album. Furthermore, this
album is to set different parts against each other thereby
establishing a dynamic contrast. Calmness and silence created through
the aforementioned piano and clavichord chords and pulsating,
piercing droning, intense electronic bubbling and torrents of modest
white noise on the other side are adeptly juxtaposed. However, at
Inner Voices one can surprisingly perceive of how those
intense signals can be emotive and gentle in a way. In a nutshell,
listen to it and get wowed away with it. That's invigorating and
exalting. The outing is a part of the Chicago, Illinois,US-based
imprint Pan Y Rosas Discos. Isabel Nogueira is a female musicologist-artist from Porto Alegre, Brazil whose music can be compared with the
likes of Big City Orchestra, Maja Ratkje, Laurie Anderson, Zoviet France.
