  • Abstract

Comment: this issue consists of 4 long-running compositions all of them are composed of abrasive and angular sonic details and open space around it. Such sort of music is called electro-acoustic, isn't it? More profoundly, he recorded abstract sound ambiances to be used as background sounds to accompany the work of his students during the intuitive drawing classes he gives. Xavier Mussat used the cheap internal microphone of his computer and several objects (bowls, balls, crumbled paper, table, and a prepared banjo), as well as remixed sounds taken from videos of snowy landscapes. Musically it is one and the same process from scratch to the very end – a permanent flow of greyish glitched-out and metallic cut-up sounds, some percussive sounds, explorations on concrete sounds. At times one can discern the sort of radiophonic play feel as if some ghastly semi-orchestrations and ascensions come to the pathway. The outing is a bit in the discography of Eg0cide.
