Alva Noto “Transform” [label: mille plateaux] Abstract, minimal electronica. Precise “sine wave scratching” and blow-the-woofer bass. Scratchy, chirpy, and held together by regular beats. –nari 1. stripped down Squarepusher; turn the bass up 2. constant, vibrating tone adorned by cricket song – no rhythm 3. mellow, rounded singing tones with jerky, skippy beats that become more elaborate; on the long side (10:00) 4. hum of dying fluorescent lights; beats come in at 2:00; dentist's breakdance 5. uses volume as a parameter of rhythm; sea sick 6. low ominous pulse and perky speaker pops 7. darker, back alley sound; changing beat patterns 8. slower and thinner 9. low frequency rumble, then layers on complicated patterns of high frequencies; continues into -> 10. midrange tremolo rises slowly and falls again | ||
