TWINE "Circulation" LP (Komplott) Komplott has finally released this LP from the bilateral-US duo Twine. The majority of these tracks were completed while the pair was still for all intensive purposes one unit located in northeastern Ohio, although they have since parted ways to different areas of the country (but still actively record and collaborate together as Twine). Sporting some beautiful cover photography on Komplott's side, Circulation effectively captures the new direction in which Twine has been moving for some time. Its seven tracks offer up a myriad of edited and highly manipulated samples, symbols, textures and atmospheres. Whereas older Twine records focused heavily on breakbeat rhythms or more regular drum patterns, the rhythm of Circulation is anything but typical, using highly manipulated marimba sounds, snippets of voice, clicks, zips, and many a neoclassical sample to form multi-layered collages. This is sonic abstraction at its best, working in the foreground and background of its own devices without becoming just wallpaper. Because these tracks were recorded some time ago, keep on eye on where the pair is heading with their upcoming Hefty and Bip-Hop releases... this is one American outfit that is pushing the envelope progressively with time. -- matthew d. mercer :: visual communicator e: mmercer@matthewmercer.com c: 330 554 7769 u: http://www.matthewmercer.com/ "Imagination is more important than knowledge." -- Albert Einstein --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
