Burning Brains - CORTEX! (Auricle
AMC 006) MC I got this after hearing Z.B.B.’s
OLD WOUNDS, one side of which is described as recordings made during the
CORTEX! sessions. If the out-takes are this good, CORTEX! should be quite a
tape, and indeed it is! It’s a c45 With one track on each side. The first is titled
Midnight Plus Midnight Plus One, which would be either 1, 25 or 49 (oh sorry
... getting back on track...) This side is a dense collage of machines,
synths and tone generators, a work of multi-tracked and improvised components
forming a continuum. But I preferred side 2, Velvet Light Trap which was
created by similar methods; however its elements are laid out more sparsely
so that individual sounds gain prominence. Unlike the "Audio Soup"
effect on the opposite side, this quieter and clearer approach (excepting
occasional near-incoherent squelch voices) is more cerebral. by Allen Densen, in Audion #6 page 31 (October 1987) |
