about

Electroacoustic works featuring voice

A different beast to his debut electroacoustic album THE DEVIL'S WAVE, this disc has Dave attempting a much more calculated and "classical" mode of sound creation.
The opening Sea Fever is a three part work all based on a narration of the poem "Sea Fever" by John Masefield. This is serious stuff, in the manner of vocal fragmentation works of the 1960s, although not as accomplished as the classics of Luciano Berio, it's an intriguing excursion, full of imaginative use of collage and processing. Rowan's Notion is largely created by fragmenting and reprocessing 20 seconds of a babies gurgles, laughs and cries. It is strangely surreal and quite unnerving to say the least. Me Time uses vocal fragments and manipulation pretty much in the vein of Trevor Wishart and Luc Ferrari, two artists I know David quite admires, and is totally extrovert really. The final 15 minute opus The Darkling Shades is my favourite work, being more synthetic musique-concrete, it's subtle and organic as opposed to the more calculated conceptual works before it.
In all, it seems that David wanted to do some works with voice to prove that he could do it, and he does do it well. But the final track proves his real talent, as a sound morphing artist he's got it down to a fine art.
