Title:  re-reading Artist:  Tim Blechmann Label:  Free Software Series Format:  CDR Price:  € 9.60   Mp3 samples: none

Title Description:
Debut album from the PD master Tim Blechmann (now living in Vienna).
Many programers try to show off the possibilities of their programs,
instead Tim achieves the most focus and rigorous contemporary electronic music that I heard since Dion Workman.

Blechmann, using PD software (a Linux program, if IÕm not mistaken), generates a fine, tightly channeled performance. The initial sound layer includes one that imitates a muted, metallic alarm buzzer which gradually bores its way into a wider terrain, surrounding itself with fuzz and hums, the alarm splintering into disparate shards. The sounds evolve but the impelling force remains constant, an onrushing of noise that flows for about half the pieceÕs 40 minutes before dissolving into some luscious crackles with distant wind. The final fifteen or so minutes are spent in more gossamer areas, all the sounds becoming transparent, insect-like, flitting and swarming about.
ItÕs a straightforward set in a way, like a complex gray shade modulating from dark to light, but its object-like nature is absorbing on its own terms. Good, smart stuff
