BIRDS OF TIN:ENE .key ray. |
AMBIENTRANCE | 05.12.01
The
first release from Belgium's MYSTERY SEA label adds
Birds Of Tin+Ene.
This intriguing equation is solved by Brooke Oates
and Scott Hudgins
who swap and reprocess each other's material, recombining
everything
into the subtly surreal passages which lead to various zones
of key ray's
oblique structure.
Touched
by faint breezes, intriguing plains of desolation unfold
as key nell expands from the horizon.
Inexorably thrumming energies are heard through open doors,
slowly flickering amid wispy, wafting tones;
the final moments are scored by gritty high sheens.
Television voices, then steady-state drones open paper
lock (12:43);
abruptly interjected musical deformations break that flow,
leaving behind
a more ominous realm of nervous anticipation where assorted
hauntings occur.
I
suppose it makes sense that it only takes a few seconds
to pass through thin walls (0:14)... into the seething
vapors of entry
where boiling clouds swelter in varying degrees of turbulence.
From slightly abrasive textures, title track key ray
shifts into a softer mode of rising/falling tonal loops
to close the disc in obscure beauty.
The
generally subdued, though definitely twisted, audioconstruction
of key ray will provide murky funhouse thrills
for those who seek
out-of-the-norm soundscenes.
Birds Of Tin+Ene generate eight tracks of mysterious,
though not inaccessible, experimentation.
An 8.4 for these eclectic immersions.
(David J. Opdyke)
