VOLUME = COLOUR – LONG
DIVISION WITH REMAINDERS EP VERSION 9 (FRONT AND FOLLOW)
Volume = Colour is
pairing from Australia consisting of Arthur Karanikas (guitar/artist) and Don
Rogers (musician/visualist). In
execution the duo produces lively and caustic soundtracks to images and
projections produced by Karanikas. For
this project contribution they have additionally collaborated with friends Cam
Butler (Silver Ray/The Coralinas), Michael Munsun, Geosophy and Primitive
Charlie with the intention of exhibiting four radical reinterpretations of the
LDWR tracks.
The pounding of tools
greets the listener in menacing fashion as the early moments of the Volume =
Colour remix resembles something of a take off. For some reason at this moment I am thinking of freedom and
opportunity although I am not exactly sure/convinced that it is connected to
this working. Regardless, just what is
at stake?
To the subtle popping
footsteps of Track 2, Volume = Colour brings a sample of shaking flows and
random stabs from the heart. Initially
it proves one of the most sparse reworkings as repetition flows in an almost
John Zorn gesture of belligerence. By
the end the insertions of the remix almost appear to be working against the
original samples rather than with them.
This is a version most at odds with itself.
Within the final remix
there is subtle total destruction as the base track hovers above a bed of ruin
and wreckage. All in all this proves
one of the liveliest contributions and painfully disruptive executions as gradually
the engine beneath becomes louder and louder shattering all that stands in its
way to pieces. It takes true dedication
to dish out such an onslaught. Then it
all ends with glorious feedback, as all good music should.
Thesaurus moment:
sate.
