Instance continues Thembi's exploration of dynamics, abstracting various sound sources, from field recordings to instrument textures, into sonic interpretations of her dreams. "Soddell's work with dynamics is extremely accomplished, alternately forcing close attention and then rewarding it with shocking explosions of activity that bring any absent-minded trains of thought right back into a brutal present." Michael Day - Diffusion, Sonic Arts Network ++++++ INTIMACY : 2004
From sounds on the threshold of perception to rupturing bursts of noise, these manipulated and sculpted environmental recordings hint at an evocative and emotional narrative. "incites tense listening" Jonathan Marshall, Real Time Arts COLLABORATIVE WORKS HOST : 2012 Through a combination of sampler, cello, and field recording, Host examines how aural explorations of physical environments can express psychological experience. ILAND : 2006
ILAND moves through a dense core of physically and psychologically contrasting formations to become a singular act of intense and cathartic sonic expression. "By alternating movement and stasis, Caddy and Soddell manage to express an otherwise undefinable sense of inner connection with something that resembles the various phases of a nightmare, but one that - one way or another - has an happy ending." Massimo Ricci - Touching extremes ++++++ 'absense and presence' on the album 'unheard spaces' : 2006 With Philip Samartzis, Anthea Caddy, Dave Brown, Sean Baxter and Michael Vorfeld. Composed by Philip Samartzis. COMPILATIONS Incidental Amplifications : Room40 2006 ++++++ page last updated: 07/03/12 ABOUT » DISCOGRAPHY » PERFORMANCE » INSTALLATION » OTHER » REVIEWS » CONTACT |
