Comment: I
guess I made first acquaintance with the Frenchman Thierry Massard
in 2009 while I started with the blog. It was a merry time within the
blogosphere in general, including those blogs dedicated to free music
mavericks. I can remember for a couple of blogs by him, one of them
having spot on the nature and personality of artists through a fixed
questionnaire. Later on, I discovered him as a musician who recorded
his first music already at the end of the 70s (his birth year is
1959). I recommend reading my interview with him where he had shed
light upon his doings and intentions behind his musical deeds. At
A
EN TIO he continues his initial impulse through the creation of
abstract, austere soundscapes based on rough drones and abrasive yet
restrained electronic music. Although it was issued 5 years ago it
can be considered a pure instance of the old school industrial
movement. I am always thrilled while listening to such sort of sound.
It chimes in a very authentic way having clearly no rivalled
counterparts from today. I guess this 3-notch release is also
recorded with the same equipment he had been doing approximately 4
decades ago. It is a part of the discography of the Portuguese
imprint Editora do Porto.
