Eloine - Impractical Furniture
Eloine exhibits again the unearthed beauty of ruff cut sounds. Silently dormant within a menagerie of re-purposed material, a creative mind induces new found motion and purpose. From this charge of energy, Impractical Furniture takes sonic shape. Five selections were procured for this composition from an impressive assortment of twenty five to choose from. A striking feature of this album is the detailed clarity of recorded features. Seemingly on first listen, the cacophony of all objects making noise is random and unvarnished. But, there is an organic feel weaving through all tracks, creating a fluid delivery for fringe sounds and wandering imaginations. After a few times through, Impractical Furniture definitely radiates with a gossamer finishing touch. Eloine has a creative skill set with attuned knowledge crafting a balance of violent clanging and scraping with the subtle quieter moments of dispersed energy. This is the most alluring aspect of this body of work, pushing across the thresholds without dropping listeners off the cliff.
Bryan Day is the creative source for Eloine. His talents reaching far into building museum piece sonic instruments to fantastic solo performance. Less than a year ago, Lost in a Sea of Sound listened and described Eloine's Moldy Cushions release. This is still available from West Virginia's Flag Day Recordings. Impractical Furniture is a cassette release on the Personal Archives label. An edition of fifty with copies currently available. Between these two is another Eloine release titled Compulsive Dinner Guest. Have listened to this many times but no description on the site. Should probably change that.
