I'm sure that someone has, by now, answered the question(s) regarding Mira Calix music. Chantel Passamonte aka Mire Calix was raised in Durban, South Africa, and has recently recorded her new album for Warp call 'One On One' to be released in March 2000. From a brief listen, there are some cool electronic chunks as well as atmospheric elements thread deep inside these tunes. 'One On One' slips into the darker side of ambient/minimalism, incorporating watery sounds with sheets of digital noise and buried lyrics. Experimentally dark and absorbing with a touch of drenching instrumental workouts. Some press details read: "..reflecting her love of strung out, avant garde guitar blazers like Spaceman 3 and My Bloody Valentine as much as any techno influence. Richly steeped in her own, digitally tampered- with vocals.." Now you have a ~sense~ of Mira's sound approach.. Here is the tracklisting for 'One On One' that may take a few listens to properly digest: . ms. meteo (poolside mix) . skin with me . nostalgia . sparrow . three teas please . schmyk . ithanga . routine (the dancing bear) . the more you do the more you do . isabella . daydreaming at night . simple friends . battery beach . upiyano . afrique du mai . slip sliding Check out Warp Records for more information on this title as well as other news (if you haven't already..) www.warprecords.com Pietro. ___________________________________________ p i e t r o d a s a c c o a u d i o - n i m b u s c j a m 91.5 fm saturdays from midnight - 2am EST 9745 lynngrove cr, windsor, ontario, n8r 1b8, canada g r o o v e s m a g a z i n e www.groovesmag.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org

Forgot to mention that this title also include's some very nice piano extracts tied to glitchy clicks and odd sounds. As you repeat this release, it begin's to grow into you - in an odd, yet memorable way.

Some of you were asking about Mira Calix a little while back, so here's a little press-review for the upcoming 'One On One' release (March 2000) as clipped from the "forthcoming" section of Bent Crayon's latest emailer.
quoted 1 line snip>>snip
CALIX, MIRA: One On One CD (WARP). "The debut album by South African born Warp artist Chantal Passamonte/Mira Calix. From the start it was clear that this was a new take on electronic music, one that reflecting her love of strung out, avant garde guitar blazers like Spaceman 3 and My Bloody Valentine as much as any techno influence. Richly steeped in her own, digitally tampered-with vocals, it followed no particular rulebook but was happy to rip out pages from all of them. One On One is a 16 track introduction that reveals for the first time the true breadth and variety of Chantal's vision, from the elongated, sunkissed chords of its opening to the pummeling beat crunches of 'Skin With Me' and 'Isabella'. Using a mass of sometimes contradictory elements, of savage beauty and rough grittiness, sadness and euphoria, fragrant melody and rhythmic sweat, Chantal, or maybe even the little part of her that is Mira Calix, is redefining electronic music for a new generation." 18.99/2LP 18.99 <<snip Pietro. ___________________________________________ p i e t r o d a s a c c o a u d i o - n i m b u s c j a m 91.5 fm saturdays from midnight - 2am EST 9745 lynngrove cr, windsor, ontario, n8r 1b8, canada g r o o v e s m a g a z i n e www.groovesmag.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
