Popis - ENHARMONICINTERVALS:
Forget what you know about the Seattle-area sound-art project Mamiffer and the Finnish hypno-rock institution Circle. Enharmonic Intervals (for Paschen Organ), the first in a proposed series of joint efforts involving these parties, contains few of the musical hallmarks you might associate with
either performer. The comforts of austere piano sketches and solemn nocturnes are largely absent; the wallop of repetitive rhythms and metallic kitsch is nowhere to be found. Its as if an unseen hand has erased the auditory signatures of each group and left behind only impressions, embers, filaments, and
shadows. As with Mamiffers recent collaboration with Locrian, the work is anything but a predictable merger of two bands established visions. Recorded over a single day at Keski-Porin Kirkko, the nineteenth-century stone church in the heart
of Circles hometown, the basic tracks for Enharmonic Intervals exude divine inspiration. This house of worship's immense Paschen organ sets a liturgical, contemplative mood, which persists unabated through a cycle of improvisations and short compositions. The album opens and closes with slowly building sinfoniettas of sustained drone and flatlining feedback that shine heavenly light onto the wan, academic corpse of avant-garde minimalism. In the middle, all sorts of hell breaks loose. Instead of engaging in some lazy superstar jam, Mamiffer and Circle have gone above and beyond to create a site-specific triumph that bridges the gap between serene, holy bliss and the warm, messy sprawl of humanity. Amen to that, brothers and sisters.
