Title Description:
A solid release from California sound artist Marcelo Cavallari (his first as Nuisance Beacon), this disc features a series of five "cycles" of sound. The cycles feature noise-laden drones and rhythmic pulses of alien mechanics, all punctuated by wailing sirens and hissy accents. On the surface, it's occasionally repetitive, but there are always background machinations in place to propel things along. Take the track "Third Cycle" for example, with its striking foreground poundings that vary little in their thirteen minutes of assault; the background is where the details lie. The variations in reverb, hum, hiss and crackle are what create the momentum of the piece. Things settle down somewhat by the end, and what was unheralded noise at the start of the disc has evolved into a more complex layering of welcome sound waves. The final track is evocative of early :zoviet*france: work (without the folly). Pleasantly diminutive packaging completes the picture on this, a very fulfilling 70 minutes of sound.-Incursion
