A sixty minutes long cassette. There`s audio material exclusively on the first side (24.45
minutes), which is slightly disappointing. I like my tapes, CD`s and DVD`s
massive, with tons of material. But then again Erik Disorder is usually harsh ,
or junk or experimental noise (anyone remember the good old days of FDR
tapes?). Whilst Mark Sonnenfeld is experimental poetry mixed with field
recordings and found sounds. So I know this is not an easy listening experience
(more like a bumpy, hell of a ride) . I think this collaboration was done by
mail. There`s a lot of material layered in there: low-fi frequencies, piano,
church bells, metal banging, field recordings of unknown origins, various voice
samples, found sounds, noisy stuff and experimental poetry readings courtesy of
Mark Sonnenfeld (I do recognize is voice). After reading this description it
feels like this recordings is a rather joyous, kinda noisy cacophony. Well, to be perfectly honest, not
at all. After repeated listening, I`d
say this collaboration has strangely
meditative qualities. I use this as background music while doing spring
cleaning. Good stuff.
