The first is what is called in the world of vinyl a split release, but there is not an appropiate term for it yet for the CD version. One person is first, the other second. So it goes. First here is one Sumugan Sivanesan from Sydney, Australia. Before turning his laptop on, he played in various rock bands. His soundinput is field recordings, feedback and his output are eight tracks of quite regular, a bit noisy most of the time, due the more extensive use of feedback related sounds then through his use of field recordings. Regular microsound here, I’d say. A bit off balance in a fine play of loud versus soft, but quite interesting throughout. Duran Vazquez (…) has seven tracks to offer. He is a self-thaught musician who picked up working in music some six years ago. I believe this is first release. It seems to me that Vazquez uses field recordings to some extent – at least more so than his partner in crime on this CD – which he processes inside the computer. It’s an overall ambient sound of a more disturbing nature.
