Appalachian Falls – GrimGrimAntonym (2011)




  • Ambient 
  • Soundscape 
  • Avant-garde 
  • Live 
  • Ambient drone 
  • Microtonal 
  • Experimentalism

Comment: some artists come to stay, some artists come to disappear forever. Appalachian Falls seems to be a representative of the latter version. One can find out very austere information about him/her (he/she is called as austerely as I) traces in music. However, GrimGrimAntonym consists of two long-running compositions in the vein of ambient and drone mixed powerful appearance. More profoundly, it is represented with the texture of ambient music and the inner, propulsive impulse of drone music by employing an array of distortion pedals and tape machines. The music is recorded during a live session which used to slowly build up in the manner of post-rock through massive crescendos and subsequent purgative fadeouts. The enchanting aural experience is a part of the discography of Resting Bell, a well-recognized German imprint (unfortunately its mission has come to an ending). That`s great indeed.

Comment: there is quite much to say about this 16-piece whole. In other words, one can write a solid review in alphabetic characters about it. The artist created the music on DIY modules built up by himself. It consists of two parts – three and four-voice interventions, and polymorphic vivisections. By its mood it is at times tumultuous due to intense noisy droning and whimsical glitched-out whirlpools, at times it used to fade away due to those oblivious guitar patterns being somewhere in the remote background. At times the aforementioned parts will fuse with one another or being the transgressive threshold for the other part. In fact, it is even more versatile than the full title of this album hints at it. It reminds me of my own musical doings while manipulating on my sampler Yamaha – by extracting sounds into very small units and moving them back and forth and searching for proper ones. In principle, it is nothing more or less than just (shape)shifting austere sonic waves and just bare signals to align them with one`s cerebral interface. Some magniloquent sort of improvised noise by its method and output. At times it chimes like a real, spirited embodiment of electricity (at QuadNand vierstimmig). By the way, I tagged the album partly as DIY, and lo-fi. Of course, it is the discussion point of considering any sort of electronic music as somehow lo-fi, or DIY. May it be a bit tautological? Pop-inflected music can be more clearly handled as hi-fi and lo-fi.  The overcoming outing is a part of the discography of Germany-based imprint Der Kleine Grüne Würfel.

Mathieu Lamontage – Lieux Communs (2018)




  • Ambient 
  • Epic 
  • Soundscape 
  • Post-classical 
  • Ambient drone 
  • Field recording 
  • Electronic music 
  • Musique concrète

Comment: Mathieu Lamontage is an artist of French-Canadian ancestry from the province of Quebec, Canada who is also being known as Arbee. In fact, he is obviously being better known due to the nom de plume due to having it preceded to writing music under his own personal name. What may be the main difference between Mathieu Lamontage and Arbee? His oeuvre being written under his own name is evidently more concentrated on ambient and drone sounds with intention to create more monumental works – by listening to this 3-track outing one can hear either fragmented or segmented fractals related to a majestically sweeping whole which could be considered a representative of those immense snow fields at northern part of Quebec, a good plateau for riding on snowmobile while being surrounded by the overcoming void and wind. Indeed, it is a beatific perspective being separated off the suffocating civilisation. Of course, such picturesque sort of descriptions cannot be eradicated from my personal memory due to experiencing another Quebecer Tim Hecker`s early albums, especially Radio Amor which is some kind of quintessence of the Northern Hemisphere being described through audible artificial frequencies. The blissful glimpse is a part of the discography of Audio Gourmet.
