Background/Info:
“Collective” is a
compilation featuring twelve songs composed over the years by Tony D’Oporto aka
Gnome and Mark Spybey (Zoviet France, Dead Voices On Air ao). Both artists did
numerous collaborative works so this is an opportunity to re/discover some of their
experiments.
Content:
The sonic universe
of both artists rapidly appears to be a World without compromises and a sonic
platform to exorcize multiple electronic influences. The work is mainly
ambient-like, but always carried by experimental parts, field recordings and
fascinating sound treatments. Some cuts are driven by a slow rhythmic while
others are moving into an abstract ambient sound. The tracks are moving from
music composed among the stars towards pure, and still evasive cinematographic
passages. A few cuts are featuring whispering vocals.
+ + + :
The sound of this
duo has something atypical and yet rather familiar for lovers of experimental
music. I like this taste of doing things ‘differently’. The tracks create a
sphere of rest and evasion, which is accentuated by piano parts and
transcendental strings. I like the few cuts featuring spooky, whispering
vocals.
– – – :
I don’t know if it
is because of the format of this work (compilation), but some cuts don’t sound
in total harmony with other ones.
Conclusion:
“Collective” is an
interesting sonic summary between those two artists. It’s a must have for the
fans and other electro-experimental freaks.
Best songs:
“Achim”, “Atomes”,
“Dreamed Of Being A River”, “The M urmur Of The Rivers Mouth”.
