«Overall, volume six balances signal and noise quite well, resulting in an approachable recording that packs enough information and surprise to reward repeated listens.» «Senza dubbio l'intera collana è fra le migliori pubblicazioni dell'etichetta elvetica e, fra i pesi massimi in campo elettro/acustico, digitale/analogico, editi negli ultimi due anni. «The final volume of this excellent series features the usual Swiss suspects (Jason Kahn, Norbert Möslang, Günter Müller and Tomas Korber) with the most important names of Seoul’s EAI/noise scene, which include Hong Chulki, Ryu Hankil, Choi Joonyong, Bae Miryung, Jin Sangtae and Sato Yukie. Transforming coldness and detachment in something that can elicit a response from the neural system is the specialization of this breed of improvisers. The penetrating character of their pieces isn’t really ill-mannered, yet there’s no way to remain passive - sooner or later a reaction occurs, usually one of bodily instability. You change position while sitting, cross your legs, twitch fingers. The interference becomes norm, pulses are established only to be instantly ruined by some motorized crescendo or by malfunctioning machineries.…» «…Fazit: ein feiner Abschluss mit vielen neuen Namen in gewohnt hoher Qualität.» «Les connivences sont vite audibles, évidentes ou nées de fertiles frictions : la matière sonore est passionnément explorée, dans toute sa crudité et dans certaines de ses abstractions, dans des tissus laminés ou des oppositions de textures. On s’amuse d’entendre, dans un pays aussi équipé en électronique, des platines « éviscérées » faire excellent ménage avec les cracked everyday-electronics ; de pernicieux feedbacks cinglent au travers de grouillements épais ; organismes minuscules ou machineries géantes qui grésillent : d’innombrables pouls creusent le temps, inventent des espaces. Folle et captivante entomologie !» «…even at their quieter moments this big party hold their fresh, uncut music well up. A great way to close this series.» in the best records of 2008, Ruis Magazine |
