Dere Moans / Horselover Flats - Lax Myths / Essentially Negative
From a densely populated point in time, a spot where civilization is building and growing, an explosion extracting all of the sonic elements occurs. A detonation in slow motion, sonic shrapnel radiating out like a giant ripple in the water. With empathic attributes bent towards protecting ears in the path of ensuing deafness, Dere Moans absorbs this debris filled circular wave. An amazing feat since this is the epicenter of civilization, and the sonic din is at the highest magnitude of all time. As we know from the first law of thermodynamics, energy can not be created or destroyed, but it can change from one form to another. This brings us the astounding collection of sounds held within the composition Lax Myths. Dere Moans is the atmosphere shielding the world from aural poisoning, taking the weight of sounds created through time and sharing the extremes of what listeners are able to handle. The most compelling aspect is the creative methodology used, just enough rhythms, just enough chaos, just enough ambient glue. Dere Moans is pressing the listening world to move forward, to expand our aural limits and to here the beauty in all sounds.
Horselover Flats shares sounds in purposeful patterns. Listeners travel an assembly line of processes, each station strobes a subliminal message or appends an external feature. The selections on Essentially Negative are brief but all are filled with high volumes of energy and design. A blast of sonic radiation, then quietness, another blast, then move on. This is a sonic heavy, massive walls of energy trembling with the potential to crush all in decibel proximity. Essentially Negative shudders in the forefront of thoughts, the crafted aural figure reducing us to infinitesimal wisps of life underneath teetering sonic slabs. Listening to Essentially Negative imparts the feeling of the conscious as a program and Horselover Flats is re-writing it. . Don't look at the track titles... just listen and be careful when the end of the cassette is near. What is the phrase... initiate protocol?
