APL022 >> NORMAL MUSIC - LET'S DO REALLY STRANGE THINGS AND CALL THEM NORMAL
[20.06.2004 | PARAPHRASING cLICKPUNK TRISTESSE]
Normal Music is the choice of music for Normal people is the
statement of this mutual project of the swedish designer
Thomas Ekelund, the Zeromoon Labelowner Jeff Surak and the
Puerto-Rican Raphael Isarri. Normal Music is not so normal
as the name might imply - not just another boring laptop
trio. They focus on merging real instruments, synths, bass
guitar, autoharp, field recordings and record players to
shape those many sound sources into normal music tracks.
But what is this Normal all about? The referential review
magazine Vital Weekly points it by claiming influences of
Pan Sonic, Goem or Pole - a mixture between dubby, clicky
rhythms in combination with rather noisy ambient fragments.
The core is relatively dense, fleshy if that's a suitable
epithet - beats, at times slightly irregular and not easy to
follow, bristling with electronic beeps, crackles, hisses,
and what have you. Somewhere between the lines, or notes,
to be precise, electroacoustic gratings, hardly perceptible
ambient wafts or field recordings push their way through.
From the track titles, one might consider Normal Music to be
political or with a certain Punk attitude. There is indeed a
musical approach to click-punk, as the beats are sometimes
quite cold and heartless (Migratory Patterns Of The Youth) -
detailed, clear cut-up beats and complicated, clicky crunches
characterizes this whole release, whereas Pills, Pills,
Pills for Mental Health is more of a slo-mo slacker
click-dub, which is a totally different direction to
Machines startle me with Great Frequency, which is more
sort of industrial field-recordings.
Lets Do Really Strange Things And Call Them Normal is an
exciting piece of work that evolves with every more bit of
listening, it is a big appetizer of contrary music for
contrary people, Precise placements of sounds and constantly
evolving textures ensure that this release holds quite a few
secrets for you, even when listening to it repeatedly Normal
Music is all about rhythms and beats, with a distinctive,
darker edge, where rich electronic textures, surface noise
from vinyl and various unidentifiable sources, looped or
seemingly random, form these five tracks of blissful beats
and minimal rhythms.
