Can some kind soul please appraise Disaster Amnesiac as to just what the heck has been going on, and probably additionally what continues to go on, in Latvia? At this particular time, the question is begged due to having listened to
Noise To Body, Repairs in D by Lunt, the sound artist that resides within that Eastern European nation. It's got me into a real tither, triggering a desire to delve into, with real depth, the roots of activities such as cybernetics, especially as regards its use within music/sound production. Lunt views the three tracks that comprise
Noise To Body as manifesting from within a "noise narrative". The term is a fascinating one, and it must have sprung forth uniqueley within the mind of Gilles Delas-Velins (this is Lunt's human founder's name). This personalized vocabulary, when paired with the hard-hitting sounds on the recording, suggests to this writer that Delas-Velins has a mystical relationship with sound. Again using both factors as illustrative in proving this point, it's clear that the man considers sound very seriously and with the deepest of focus. Disaster Amnesiac imagines a heroic European quietly considering sounds as he sits solitary on some simple piece of furniture, perhaps stoking his chin or taking notes, precisely hand-written within a crisp notebook. Allow me to focus on the sound a bit and to suggest that the listener walk around the room during at least one hearing of
Noise To Body. Sonic aspects have changed for me as I've done that. One may also want to play it on the louder side. Schedule forty five minutes by yourself with your spouse and other family, and really crank it! Side one's two tracks,
Dirt Unleashed Desire and
Distonic, feature rhythms and higher register squall and quavery sound beams, but also some surprising melodic durations.
Dismantle Delusion takes up the entirety of side two and its almost Ambient chill and cyber-unfolding shares the gentlest of Prog feels at times within its episodic portions. Lovely really. Lunt is a project which is delving deeply into the depths of the poetic/linguistic/sound axiom, and
Noise To Body, Repairs in D has me asking: how does mysticism in Latvia present itself, and when will more of these inspirations be communicated by them?
