Reviews of Volume Objects [12k1045]

It’s within this hazy juxtaposition of sounds, musical fragments and field recordings that they stake their claim.

Sebbene l’intenso rapporto fra immagine e suono, landscape e musica.

Delicaat en delicieus.

A rather inspired and rarefied ambience

An incredibly sensual album.

Subtle, ambient and quite subdued in it’s execution.

Otherwise these glitchscapes achieve a radiance of appearance, refracting sound sources into a mercurial flood, allusively suggesting form and structure, and maintaining just enough textural warmth and serendipitous, fleeting beauty to sustain the listener along the way.

Es ist ein Schweben und ein Pflücken als ein bodenständiges Musizieren, was die Musk des Briten Autistici auf Volume Objects ansprechend beschreibt.

Cumpliendo aquella promesa de publica en formato largo a todos los artistas que desubrio con el recopilatorio Blueprints, Taylor Deupree da ahora la alternativa al misterioso Autistici, un inglesito que gusta por igual de la musica concreta y de ese ambient de grano grueso y espacios abiertos que es marca del sello neoyorquino.

Ganz groß.

The sounds of innumerable minute phenomena—dust on a window, a door opening, bodily noises—are transformed radically to simulate the clack of a typewriter’s keys and gamelan tinkles.

Noises from afar heard through a door left ajar: An accessible model of music as sculpting.

Volume Objects can be considered instead as a collection of vignettes somehow modified by a child’s crayon into scribbled figures that, although not beautiful, possess now a few characteristics and slight deformations that attract our curiosity more than before.

What’s great about Volume Objects is the interplay of the tiniest of sound particles, dancing like atoms amid the field recordings which provide much of the feed in the mix.

Across nine delicately constructed audio canvasses, Newman aligns invented and real sounds. Careful, painterly in approach, Newman creates sonic narratives of hesitant, yet undeniable beauty.

Piccole novelle per suoni persi e ritrovati, strumenti acustici, registrazioni d’ambiente, sintetizzatori, memorie e luoghi dimenticati.

Autistici take sounds from instrumental and concrete sources, warping them into a beautifully organic whole, bristling with a vigorously abstract intensity whilst referencing an accessible harmonic awareness at every turn.

Calmscape have had the fortune to listen to a new album from Autistici titled Volume Objects recommended listening for fans craving minimalistic ambient filled with clicks’n’cuts and inspiring textured soundscapes.

Magnifique!

Everything starts off very nicely, in the land of slumbering, drifting electronica – pleasant whirrs and clicks, with enough melodic interference to keep things honest.

Volume Objects is a beautiful audio story of “tiny details” culled from found sounds, acoustic instruments, field recordings, synthesizers, and space.

L’imaginaire peut alors entrer en action et toucher cette musique.

On obtient alors un album riche et varié, belle confirmation des promesses entrevues jusqu’alors.

Volume Objects je příjemná deska, v rámci předem daných mantinelů maximálně variabilní a zvukově „chytlavá“.

Lyd som materialitet. Lyd som en åbning mod verden eller en verden i sig selv. Lyd som erfaringens rum eller rummets erfaring.
