Comment: one of
the main characters of the blogosphere is to dig out music having
been produced many decades ago and having the status of virtually
forgotten. Given that many of these blogs used to have a considerable
following it will give a refreshing impulse to many projects. One of
the most striking categories is music which can be pigeonholed as
minimal synth, krautrock tinged experiments most of them following
DIY attitude. One of those issues is also Dave Fuglewicz's
Orange
Mist Sunrise/Orange Mist Sunset consisting of 12 tracks. You can
see an impressive analogue synthesiser-based technical park on
pictures and your sonic experience probably fits with it. One hears
throbbing Moog synths providing the pace and intriguing layered
synthesises with different phases on experimentation. You can hear
how different layers used to shift against one another, more
profoundly, one of the layers is switched off white the other one is
switched on for pitch effects, deceleration and acceleration, lots of
arpeggio moves. And vice versa. All of that used to happen in a
minimal vein and at the same time you obviously figure out it is an
example of improvisational music. And at the same time it does not do
away with a free flow and psychedelic facets. It might be you start
thinking of it as way too lengthy but one should consider the fact it
is in concordance with the nature and mind of this kind of music.
Remember the works of Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, for example. By
the way, with regard to contemporary synth wizards like M Geddes
Gengras, Steve Hauschildt, Daniel Lopatin you can see the same
tendencies to go on. The issue was the tape of a month of The Living
Archive of Underground Music curated by Don Campau.
