Бомбастично ( !! )

Моето колаборативно издание ' Serotonine ' со австралијанскиот артист Philip Sulidae беше издадено од страна на германската лабела Grisaille, на касета !! Нешто повеќе инфо во врска со тоа, од тука - https://grisaille.bandcamp.com/album/s-rotonine Плус рецензија за истото, преземена од Vital Weekly, следува подолу . . .
BOBAN RISTEVSKI & PHILIP SULIDAE - S​É​ROTONINE (cassette by Grisaille) As I have been enjoying Boban Ristevski's latest batch of releases, which are almost all collaborations, it was a no-brainer to start with his release from this newest batch of Grissaile releases. He teams up here with Philip Sulidae, from Australia, and is also no stranger to these pages. As with many recent collaborations with Ristevski, I have no idea how these pieces are made. Usually, they have some heavily processed drones in combination with densely layered shorter loops. The four pieces on this release evolve more around the use of field recordings, which is what I know best from Sulidae. My best guess would be that he is the man who supplied a lot of these field recordings, and Ristiveski takes them to another level. He is not doing the total abstraction side of things, but he keeps it more within the realm of what we know. I would think the field recordings are to be recognized as such, even when it's unclear what precisely these are. I can imagine Sulidae uses a lot of hydrophones and magnetic pick-ups, scanning the city for hidden electric lines. In the music, there are repetitions, but none all too obvious, thus creating a more collage-like approach in the music. In that respect, this Ristevski release is a bit different than his other recent releases, and I needed some adjusting to this approach, but it worked very well. The music is ambient and alien, with all these heavily obscured sounds. Excellent stuff. (FdW) - ––– Address: https://grisaille.bandcamp.com/ - http://www.vitalweekly.net/1359.html ( . . . ) . . .

My ' Collab ' album w/ Claus Poulsen ( !! ) ( . . . ) . . .

It's Out Now from the label - Love Earth Music ( http://www.loveearthmusic.com/ ). Plus a review about it follows - it's from Vital Weekly. Some more info from here - https://hardlistening.bandcamp.com/album/the-catcher-in-the-rye
CLAUS POULSEN & BOBAN RISTEVSKI - THE CATCHER IN THE RYE (CDR by Love Earth Music) In my little, non-existing book of labels, I have Love Earth Music down as 'mostly a noise label', but the release by Claus Poulsen and Boban Ristevski is certainly not noise at all. The first I know from his many solo releases and collaborations, with the second working his butt off, now he's back on track with computer manipulated sounds. We are kept in the dark about the basics of this release, who does what and such. Maybe we don't always need to know. The result is what counts, and like much of Ristevski's recent material, I enjoy this a lot. My uneducated guess would be that he treats sound material delivered by Poulsen and does that in his usual ambient industrial manner. There is a highly delicate process with the sound material, reshaping the material into small particles, buzzing and zooming. In 'The Catcher 1', this stays on a slightly more abstract side of things, but in the other three pieces, it all leans more towards the musical side. In 'The Catcher 2', for instance, a sort of repeating, broken rhythm machine amplifying all the sounds from the machine. We get four pieces, from almost eight to almost twelve minutes, and they are all equally great, and, sadly, at thirty-eight minutes, a bit too short for my taste. In the current flow of releases by Ristevski another great one, with a slight change of scenery. (FdW) - http://www.vitalweekly.net/1351.html
