Wash II 28:57

about

A continuation/extension of the loop piece "Wash", originally featured on the album Drono:
lineimprint.bandcamp.com/album/drono

Whereas the original centres on softer, water-like presences, this new version incorporates textures of concrete and metal: unoiled hinges sway over the whirr of engines, as the scene gradually recedes into fog. An extended running time (29 minutes, compared with the 17 minutes of the original “Wash”) allows for an even deeper intake of Piotr’s densely compounded loops, all of which are propelled by the burst of static pulsing at the centre of the composition.

Derek Piotr (b. 1991) is a folklorist, performer and composer based in New England, whose work focuses primarily on the human voice. His work covers genres as diverse as folk, leftfield pop, chamber, and dance; and is primarily concerned with tenderness, fragility, beauty and brutality. He has collaborated with artists including Maja Ratkje, Don’t DJ, and Thomas Brinkmann across various disciplines. His work was nominated by the jury for Prix Ars Electronica in 2012, and has featured on UbuWeb and BBC.

This beautiful label is the source of the HR008 spillage. Sonics stripped of extraneous ornaments and supports, targeted between the margins of articulable sensation. Hard Return

teetering on the edge of rhythmic but standing firmly in the ground of odd tonality, this release leaves enough sonic space to infer one's own ideas about the form. Percussive type sounds bonk through the mix but all of them have a softness and power to them. bkudler
