TAGCLOUD – LONG
DIVISION WITH REMAINDERS EP VERSION 13 (FRONT AND FOLLOW)
A TagCloud is a visual
representation for text data. In this
example it is a sonic endeavour that hangs as the result of supposedly naïve
experiments that involve manipulation of found sounds and field
recordings. This is music in a most
natural form, one that serves to explain and expound the author’s surroundings
in a tactical fashion.
The TagCloud version
of the LDWR EP is one of the most dragged out and quiet contributions of the
project. There is no rush here and not
necessarily any dynamic either. It’s
all about atmosphere and establishing a scene, a mood to contrast existence
against. Subtly it fills the room. And not necessarily with light.
This work originates
from Washington D.C. (the second version of the project after BLK w/BEAR to
come from the city). It is a place I
imagine to be suffocating, that despite housing some of the most important
people on the planet, there is shocking degradation in its motion. And with such a mentality, for me this is
how these tracks work.
Impressively track two
finds itself stretched to over eleven minutes sounding like some ethereal
orchestra on a journey to a higher plain making it one of the most expansive
issues of the project.
This afternoon my
mother overheard me listening to this release and asked “am I in mourning?” I
guess representing the bleak tone in its execution. In its explanation, it has its uses.
Thesaurus moment:
barren.
