What's strange is that, to me, Ae's latest work has a very "Physical"
and Acoustic feel to it. To me it sounds like real-life sounds in
real-life environments... the only thing is that these sound like
physical things I have never heard before in environments I've never
been in before.
To me, there is a real complexity in a lot of the sounds they use that
can really only bear resemblance to real-life objects in real
environments. A lot of times I think they must use acoustic sounds, but
these sounds are just chopped up, re-aranged, or applied spectrally to
other sounds in such a way that you loose the bearing of their
orriginal context, yet that organic "real-life" feeling still holds it
in real life.
Just my $.02
