The way sounds resonate, reverberate or otherwise differ within the confines of walls and ceilings, spaces with and without people, are all integral to the tonalities and atmospheres of the five pieces collected here.<\/p>\n<p>A lone voice issues for a shrieking note in an empty room\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 unidentifiable instruments vibrate against one another to forge unsettling half-chords. <\/p>\n<p>Modulating trombones create long, low, swelling drones, eerie and affecting. At times strangely like whale song, others like building fear chords, the album\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s first piece is ominously atmospheric and alien-sounding. <\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcTruth, exercise for a listener\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 is a truly ambient work. An improvised work recorded with handheld devices, the distant ripple of chatter, the creak of a door hinge, clatters and scrapes, and long, slow trombone drones drift through the air like a fog horn in sonic slow-mo. At times, you feel like saying to the people talking \u00e2\u20ac\u02dccan you be quiet, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m trying to listen to the music\u00e2\u20ac\u2122, but of course, that\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the challenge the piece presents the listener, and this is a participation exercise on multiple levels.<\/p>\n<p>The success of \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcPositions\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 lies in the fact that it can be appreciated from many perspectives, and while it is thought-provoking and theory-driven, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s also interesting on a sonic level.<\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.whisperinandhollerin.com\/reviews\/review.asp?id=12465\">whisperinandhollerin<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3181708472\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=e99708\/transparent=true\/\" seamless><a href=\"http:\/\/cronica.bandcamp.com\/album\/positions\">Positions by Martijn Tellinga<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcPositions\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 finds Tellinga exploring space.
