with 'structures', vndl a.k.a. philippe vandal continues along the path
he started one year ago on the 'paysages électriques' release. with this
work, this outstanding canadian artist continues with his aural concept
of abstract electronic soundscapes, intensely manipulated guitars and
warped beat structures.vndl's skills of splicing an auditory
collage of elements into a coherent arrangement make this release a
sensual experience without any logical refraction. the one-of-a-kind
blend of idm / glitch, electro-acoustic techniques and processed guitar
fragments result in dense, organic sound environments of suspense and
beauty. a well balanced equilibration between unsettling experimental
sounds and soothing ambience. 'structures' is completed with three
remixes by valance drakes a.k.a. mussck, kero (sohail azad) and
hexogramme, on which the rhythmic aspects of vndl's original tracks are
put forward without annihilating the album's artistic concept.the 'gahrena' cycle continues - attentive listening required.
