Title Description:
Snawklor is a project that reorders the sonic environments of D. Krasevac
and N. Gray. They create compositions exploring ideas of space and personal
location by processing and re-ordering recordings of their sonic
environments. Their compositions not only use the sounds around them but
also mimic their perceived structures, layering them via a mixture of order
and automated indeterminacy.
' It would have lived here' is their second full length release. A rich
display of acoustic ecology incorporating field recordings, miked up
metallic percussion, tape debris and computer construction. Whilst remixing
the world around them Snawklor have developed a unique aesthetic language
which is far from Windham Hill utopia but neither is it the evil edge as
encountered in some of the recordings of Francisco Lopez and the like.
A unique working process is exemplified by the 1st track 'doublivores back'
combines field recordings from inner city Merri Creek with R+B influenced
rhythms and sharp shots of the prior occupant of cassette sneaking through.
The appearance of the subliminal residue of Grandmaster Flash makes for a
unique chance procedure and is typical of snawklor's inventive approach.
Elsewhere the cd strikes up a diverse collection of deep listening, melodic
spray, mechanical fauna and subtle dynamics which come together as a highly
rewarding listening experience.
