Background/Info:
Polish experimentalist Tomasz
Twardawa has been releasing ‘music’ for more than 20 years now. Zoharum started
to re-release the back catalogue and this opus originally released in 2002 on
Die Schöne Blumen Musik Werk, is the fifth one in the series. The artwork is a
little bit different from the original although you’ll recognize the front
picture taken from a painting of our Belgian surrealist- and symbolist painter
James Ensor.

Genetic Transmission
always has been an ‘extreme’ sound experience. We’re getting pretty close to
the ‘anti-music’ artists from the early 80s, which throughout the years has
been renamed into ‘noise’. All kinds of noises and sounds have been brought
together creating a kind of abstract improvisation. Mixing industrial noises
with different kinds of field recordings you rapidly get the feeling of being imprisoned in a truly and endless sound
labyrinth.
+ + + :
This kind of sound is
meant for the real lovers of experimental-, abstract- and improvisation music.
Genetic Transmission is an expert in the genre and this work is a non-stop
succession of heavy sound treatments and pure noise. The field recordings are
sometimes surprising and I especially refer to the melody of a music box suddenly
emerging at the surface.
– – – :
I have to admit I’m not a
big lover of this kind of experiments. The composition rapidly falls into a
state of chaos; there’s no way in between: you gone like it or not!
Conclusion:
Genetic Transmission
stands for an extreme sound sensation meant to entertain extreme melomaniacs.
