Reviews
More from Idiosyncratics, a label that releases both things you can hold in your hand and stuff that you can download, following last week’s release by Xedh and his friends. The first one is by Jeff Gburek, who recorded this piece as it happens not too far from Vital’s HQ, in Germany’s Kleve Nur Nicht Nicht studios. For this he used electric guitars, shortwave radio, ebow, oscillators and voice. It’s a remixed version of something that has been released by Digitalis Industries. It’s a great piece of humming sounds, soft spoken text and the crackle of short wave. A rather subdued piece, minimal, but forever changing it’s course, shape and color. A delight to hear from this already remarkable composer.
Vital Weekly
Et voilà donc l’énorme coup de cœur du moment. Jeff Gburek est un musicien berlinois plutôt radical pour qui l’a déjà vu en concert. La plage rappelle le meilleur de Coil avec ses ambiances étranges, ses voix chuchotées, cette tristesse qui se dégage de l’ensemble. On a l’impression d’être enfermé dans une pièce hermétique avec des sons qui tournent lentement autour de notre tête, cette sensation que l’on ne peut rien toucher, juste se laisser faire.
