Title Description:
Nathan McNinch: field recordings & manipulation of found objects

The name Nathan McNinch is a new one for me, and the source material for his 'A Brief Audio History Of Agriculture' is life and machinery around the farm. Rusty objects like milk-containers are used, and the subsequent recordings are processed by computer means. Apart from the clear use of source material, all of the other stuff that McNinch does is nothing spectacular. He does a good job however in what he does. Stretched out rumbles, metallic bangs, slowed down, sped up: all the usual elements of microsound are there, owing say a lot to Steve Roden, Roel Meelkop, Bernard Gunter or Richard Chartier, but McNinch finds his own way and does a really fine job at this. Nothing new, standing in a firm tradition, but nevertheless very much alright. (FdW)
