Comment: Golem
was an artificial mystical monster having been created by a
Prague-based rabbi to protect Jews from their bullies. It was closely
related to magic and something which could be called a certain sort
of programming. The US-based artist Jason Popejoy aka Roto Visage
conveys a mystical and frightening ambience which very well provides
the topic. The listener can hear the growling and moaning of the
monster, the rattling of the chains, ominous sounds running
throughout corridors and basements, chainsaw reminding intense
sounds. Frequently these fragments are mixed up into each other
thereby constituting a cohesive view. Indeed, it is a highly
exquisite stuff with ever-changing soundscapes and penumbras. With
purpose to magnify the contrasts within it one can hear even serene
ambient developments and swaying spoken word snippets. The enchanting
12-notch issue is a part of the discography of Kikapu.
