Bubba69 Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Sounds good. o does the hecker/voafose one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khov Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 hmm...cant wait for that cd!!! ; those ambient/abstract (or whatever you call it) clips are really nice, the rephlex 2006 releases seems pretty strong, now i understand why they do not accept demos anymore. i thought about getting that split ep but as i like hecker a lot, i'll get both cds soon ( that said, analogue music sounds better on vinyl...)

noise Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 first track sounds a bit saw 2-ish yes, and that's a compliment... actually all the samples sound quite marvellous, very atmospheric and rich ambient... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khov Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 yeah & that's why this releases seems lovely, making "simple" music (minimal or ambient) must be pretty "hard" as you cant hide behind hundred of layers of sounds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

six Posted November 9, 2006 Author Share Posted November 9, 2006 "Voafose, despite the usual rumours is actually a real person - Jeremy Simmonds, who is better known as one half of Boymerang (with Graham Sutton) and for collaborating with Luke Vibert on the Vibert Simmonds album 'Weirs'. Now that's out of the way we can get on to the record itself which shows itself up to be something of a real oddity for Rephlex. Not that any Rephlex record ever plays it safe, but Voafose's self-titled debut is something truly strange and beautiful. Culled from recordings made over the last 20 years, these 20 tracks explore the outer reaches of experimental electronic music; drone-based ambient, synthesized experimentations, musique concrete and tape manipulation. It's not as hard to listen to as you'd think either, the tracks are sequenced in such a way that it rarely jars too much or lulls you too far into a state of blissful security. Opening with a piece of tape manipulated synth/sampler work we are very quickly thrown into 'Quard' which shows off Simmonds's clear skills with the humble synthesizer. Closest possibly to Delia Derbyshire's work with the BBC Radiophonic workshop, Simmonds builds up a haunting science-fiction atmosphere using a detuned drone and light, chattering voices. Interspersed throughout the disc are the spliced and edited voices of television and radio - whether it is a weather broadcast or a feature about hairdresser Charles Worthington nothing is safe from the reel-to-reel tape machine of Voafose. These excerpts of modern life add an abstract quality to the record, intentionally setting it alongside the work of Luc Ferrari for instance, whereas other more experimental pieces might be comparable to the work of Bernard Parmigianni. Clearly having an understanding of the history of electronic music and musique concrete Simmonds makes the album into much more than a mere re-treading of experimental music's past, instead it works as some kind of tribute or reverential look at a time when the sounds themselves were just as important as the compositions - something which today's younger musicians could do with thinking about.
