“Transmissions” reviewed by Monsieur Délire

A new CD by electroacoustician Mathias Delplanque, based this time on sounds from industrial machines – looms and machine-tools. Four pieces: three short ones and a final 40-minute track. The first three pieces are like hors-d’œuvres: sophisticated and elegant. “Part 4” is a monster. You step inside it unsuspecting, as it starts pretty much like …

Mathias Delplanque maakt industrial. Niet van die bonkmuziek in vierkwartsmaats, al dan niet opgesmukt met metalen gitaren en nihilistische eindtijdlyriek. Hij presenteert ware industriële composities: drie korte en een heel lang stuk opgebouwd uit veldopnamen van machinegeluid.
