Title Description:
"The master of Junk Metal noise offers a completely different experiment with this Groundfault CD release. There is no outright sonic assault, no continuous crash of metal- on-metal within K2's In the Monotonous Flowers, (though the metal destroying K2 does make several appearances within this recording) this release showcases K2's approach to cut-ups and sound collage. This is a quieter (at times), more constructed look at sound using a variety of sources, from lo-fi to crisp and loud from effected music and found sound, to confused conversation and clamor. K2 shapes each piece by randomly bouncing from source to source, using panning, echo, and saturation to never let the listener's ear settle into a comfortable feeling for long if at all. The more successful recordings on this disk allow the sounds to finish or melt/transform into something new while remaining somehow connected either by tonality, effect, texture or placement. This CD contains 10 pieces of music constructed from the leavings and remnants of sound; some sounds give the impression that they were assembled specifically for this recording, while others are pulled from previous recordings from a variety of sources (field, records, etc). In the Monotonous Flowers is a detailed puzzle of sound assembled into 10 single pictures. However within the first few pieces the sounds seem to clash into each other more, and are presented in a greater disarray. Quiet spaces will be sharply broken by loud incongruous noises/sounds.
