Modern Silent Cinema - The Cabinet of Modern Silent Cinema
Omnifarious sounds spraying from the fluidity of a long waterfall. The groove is raw, holding a warmth many listeners will most ebulliently absorb. The quality of recording harks back to early delta blues 78's with connective sonic gems sown throughout. Sometimes there is a feeling this is a lost Fahey or Basho recording, low-fi and a wanderer of tempos and styles. At other times there is the definitive resonance of a much more modern era. Rhythms built with multiple tracks as selections form with sonic sophistication and elegance. Then, back on the train to Chicago to get paid for another two sides of American roots. Using one more reference because it popped in thoughts, there might be a little Snakefinger sound in "Rotorelief", but that is just what i hear. The last three selections are co-written with Boru, providing a bit more introspective sound, but these selections are still divided between added production and completely not cooked recording.
