Masterful blend of closely observed recordings and extended violin (cello?) interventions. Always surprising, but with a forward moving and irresistible momentum. Deep immersion and complexity. Can't wait to hear the whole shebang.
This release initiates a series of propositions between Bonnetta and Hamann exploring film sound design as a relation of anecdotal music. Each side is composed of location recordings, musical fragments, foley, in-studio recordings, outtakes, and sketches gleaned from various re-recording processes. In the absence of images, these sound propositions reflect on the possibilities of a particular form of ‘aural cinema,’ of fictional spaces constructed from the reordering and recasting of documentary and documentation.
