| | Ycybyny Project America The Beautiful CD Ycybyny Project Discography of CDs
A wild hallucinogenic and schizophrenic soundscape/collage that is composed of thousands of micro-second samples melded together, twisted and distorted. Rapid fire sound bits flash by at a heart-racing pace, followed by moments of ambience and abstract noise... Think Merzbow meets John Cage to produce Zappa's Lumpy Gravy at 78 RPM... Listen to the 1 minute intro, it contains 2 and 3 second samples of the rest of the CD's content.

| | 'Michael Vernusky Blood That Sees The Light CD (2006)
America The Beautiful
$13.29
*********Michael Vernusky's intriguingly titled Blood That Sees the Light is an eclectic mix of tracks ranging from lush electronic soundscapes to sharply defined acoustic instrumental pieces. Binding them together is Vernusky's sonic palate, which tends towards haunting environments that slowly flex between rich consonances and crackling dissonances. Though a number of tracks create subtle timbral drifts which morph though various permutations, there are enough striking and well placed instances of abrupt onslaught that that one hesitates to relax too deeply into the swirl. Indeed the organization of the tracks on the disc as a whole seems to reflect an awareness and careful planning of this parameter. From the beginning of the opening track, which definitely falls into the lush dreamscape category but includes a beautifully handled moment of striking abruptness, we are put on alert that this is not music intended to flow graciously by. The darkly dramatic sensibility of the sound as a whole is immediately observable in the artwork that adorns the carefully designed packaging. The CD booklet exchanges the standard text based program notes for much more evocative collages of dark, semi-focused photographs accompanied by beautifully somber paintings of color-clouds. These photographs reveal the performer of the composition to which they are connected, which for the electronic pieces of course consists solely of machinery. I should probably mention that program notes do in fact exist for most of these pieces, as I discovered while exploring Vernusky’s website (www.alasseis.com). However, since the composer obviously made a conscious decision that these were not necessary for the listening experience, I decided not to read them before writing this review. Of the six tracks on the disc, I will focus on the four that include electronics, two of which are for tape alone and two for solo instrument and tape. The title track, Blood That Sees the Light, is perhaps the moodiest piece on the disc. One of the more arresting elements of this track involves the above-mentioned abrupt jolt, which occurs early on (after the first minute of nine), ...

If your mind needs peace, you need to reflect, or fall into deep thought, then Richard deHove's debut album "Worlds Beyond Number" can lead the way.It's a mesmerising ambient mixture of choral melody, strings and intruiging electronica. One reviewer described it as: "The melodic sense of Enya meets the hypnotic structure of Philip Glass."The first track, "The Good Earth", has been used in several online multimedia presentations and the huge response prompted Richard to collect some of his works into an album."I was amazed at the response," says Richard. "I got hundreds of emails asking about a CD."I'm absolutely delighted to have the CD finally available. It's a wonderful thing to be able to give people a portion of calm and beauty."More recently Richard was contacted by one of the Apollo 8 astronauts whose NASA radio communications are part of the track 'The Good Earth'."I was amazed when I received the email from William Anders," says Richard. "I was a small child when the Apollo program was in full swing and the astronauts from those days are like heroes from some past age. To be directly contacted by William Anders was an incredible thrill and honor."Anders saw "The Good Earth" webshow on www.frontiermultimedia.com and loved it. "He bought 20 copies of the CD to distribute to his friends," says Richard.Gentle choir themes and strings predominate on the CD, but there's also a some exotic instrumentation and ambient synthesizer backgrounds."My main aim is always to create a work which pulls you in, calms you, blocks out all other distractions and then allows the mind to go where it will," says Richard."If you're already tired then the mind will often take you straight to sleep. That was a problem for me during mixing - I was given a dangerously comfortable chair, and if it was late at night I'd rarely make it through a single track without falling asleep !"At other times I can sit back, focus on a thought, and drift with that in a sort of timeless haze."But if you do concentrate on the detail, you'll notice a continuous, subtle evolution.
