Jordan Vauvert Pour Noctis Labyrinthus, Adam Kalmbach profite d'influences très remarquables, notamment la musique de la renaissance, avec le parti pris de créer un dédale sonore. On le ressent tout au long de l'album avec un système d'aller-retour assez anxiogène — idée qui, à mon avis, n'avait jamais été aussi exploitée auparavant. Le duo "Iani Chaos" et "Noctis Labyrinthus" est le passage le plus fort de l'album, surtout avec la harpe destructurée qui fait froid dans le dos. Jute Gyte, unique sur la scène. Favorite track: Noctis Labyrinthus.

albinobone You're smart enough to listen to this album despite Adam Kalmbach's band camp commentary on this page. I personally drank three gins & tonics and assembled an Ikea bookshelf while listening to Noctis Labyrinthus. And I completely did not realize it was a heavily-processed sample of Dufay's Je ne vis oncques la pareille. Now that I know it is, though, I wish I'd gotten a more complicated shelf.

This guy's farts contain more raw idea-molecules than many bands' entire discographies. Favorite track: Isidis.

about

Notes:
This album was largely inspired by medieval and renaissance music and by Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars novels. The only sound source in "Gwyar" is a heavily-processed sample of Dufay's Je ne vis oncques la pareille, arranged to expand and then contract with each repetition (think AABABCABCDBCDCDD). This material is then treated pseudo-canonically. "Iani Chaos" shares this expanded/contracting canonic form. "Noachian" is a sort of prolation canon on a single pitch for 11 voices, each one repeating only a single note of the natural minor scale, each at a different rate, with melodic and harmonic content emerging from the resulting interplay of voices. I tend to think of this album as a sibling to the earlier Ghost Sickness.
