for those who might not know what all this is about
here are some words from other music / nyc:
· inkblot - the language game ·
Inkblot is the project of a 22-year-old wunderkind Jeremy Ballard
who produces these gorgeous melodies live, a mad scientist in his
lab running from sampler, to keyboards, to bass, to guitar, and
back again. Tight, playful snares hold down the rhythm while
bubbling, gurgling electronics unexpectedly pop up here and there,
piano in a minor key floats throughout, slowly pulling you in until
these songs are permanently stuck in your head and you walk
around all day humming these beautiful obscure tunes. Think of a
combination of to rococo rot and B. Fleischmann or Mouse on Mars
and Steve Reich. A beautiful edition to any collection and a must for
fans of releases on the Morr or Sonig labels. Lo-fi electronic music
of the highest quality. [JS]
· jon sheffield - it's so long since i have seen the ocean ·
After wracking my brain for weeks now trying to think of what
Sheffield's work reminds me of, it finally came to me this
afternoon: it's most like the music and sounds that the Magnetic
Fields put on "Distant Plastic Trees". That electric-yet-friendly
sound, loop-driven but not always predictably so. Melancholy
but optimistic, Sheffield's sounds and rhythms spring from the
acoustic, then shift somewhat, like a spinning top moves laterally
across a floor but doesn't stop its circular motion. This approach
is a lot like that of Max Tundra or labelmates Sack & Blumm, with
a giddy and wry charm that's neither too cute nor too sweet. [RE]
