Listening to the late Matt Shoemaker (previously unknown to me) RIP Matt Shoemaker
- "Matt Shoemaker pulled his chin away from his hand after several
ponderous moments, positing that the title to this electrically charged
opus of encrypted drone holds at least two entry points. the most
obvious reference for spots in the sun would be the astrophysical study
of sunspots with all of the allusions to earthly disturbances triggered
by events millions of miles away. yet, on the other hand, shoemaker also
proposed an earthbound reference to regions of the world that only
exist – perhaps literally, perhaps psycho-geographically – under the
intense glare of sunlight. he then shrugged his shoulders, hoping for an
ideal situation in which his audience will confront his work as a
vacuum and allow personal references to be drawn from within.
In simplest terms, spots in the sun is a grotesque, sonic landscape with
details exaggerated out of proportion and narratives folded upon
themselves in a magnificent abstraction of electro-acoustics, rarified
field recordings, and particulate matter plucked from ether. shoemaker
works in monochrome, shaping his gray tonalities into rhizomes of shadow
which occasionally erupt in brilliance of hyper-realized clarity. while
the familiar sounds of encircling birds, turbulent weather, and temple
bells litter shoemaker's
recordings, the sonic topography describes a vulgar and hostile
landscape where fits of delirium and circadian arrhythmia are common
human responses. Shoemaker achieves these complex metaphors through
labyrinthine drones spiralling through irradiated fog and glassine
vibrations, punctured by the scars of a landscape in perpetual revolt.
in many ways, Shoemaker's spots in the sun could be mistaken for Bernard Parmegiani at his most focused or even John Duncan at his most
gracefully brutal."
and even though it's a bit early Galun - Winter From Discogs Classical ambient style with deep atmospheric sound. The song is inspired by early works Brian Eno and Apex Twin. The melancholy waves which was construct of voice produce a quite intense and chill feeling. Also, it put you in a darkness kind and winter experience. That's quite the translation.
Streaming on Prime following recommendations by Lowlife and Doofy. Enjoying so far.
That BST album is my favourite of theirs amc2 - the only album that Al Kopper played on, much better IMO that the David Clayton-Thomas albums that came later.
