Larry Kucharz - "Unit 34: Assorted Tracks"
(International Audiochrome IA34, 2002, CD)
“ ... By contrast, Unit 34: Assorted Tracks is fundamentally based entirely
on electronically produced rhythmic patterns juxtaposed with melodic
fragments in a series of catchy and energetic pieces, each with a
fundamental rhythm and complex undercurrents and overlays. Back on the
farm, we call this stuff techno, but Kucharz' approach is a fresh and
novel one that uses many of the tonal elements from his cyberchoral and
audiochrome toolbox and moves them into a more kinetic application.
Some of the material here leans toward the academic side, being a bit
stark and mechanical but nonetheless explorative, while other pieces
are furiously busy and complex, overlaying rhythms and counter-rhythms
and shifting gears with regularity, producing some amazing grooves.
Especially noteworthy is the closing piece "Blue Through City Night
Lights", which uses voice samples in novel ways combined with
electronics over a slower rhythm. Unlike the more mature "electrochoral"
style of CyberChoralColors, one can sense that Kucharz
is still in the growth phase with this style of music, with a lot of
ideas remaining to be discovered.” - Peter Thelen Exposé www.expose.org
