More Info The darkest & most mysterious recordings we've heard from MCFALL so far, whispering nebulous structures, somehow very fragile, noting is obvious, like an audible-made trip to the darkest corners of the Unconscious. 5 movements to the Otherworld. "Rising figure in the vast nebula of experimental music, Christopher McFall is a phonographer whose work is heavily permeated with sound elements extracted from his immediate urban environment in Kansas City, Missouri (USA)... Carefully captured for their representativeness of certain personal emotional states, his field recordings have a deep intimate meaning...then, they are almost surgically dissected, manipulated or/and processed, and finally reassembled in close detailed cathartic compositions... To his credit comes already a long list of virtual releases on numerous netlabels (Filament Recordings, Laboratoire Moderne, Alg-a, Homophoni, Clinical Archives, Con-v, Test Tube, and/Oar), and also a batch of CDs for Entr'acte, Gears of Sand, and Sourdine... Constantly exploring new methodologies of approach, and listening in compulsively to his surroundings, he'll undoubtedly be more written about, so keep an eye on his next masterpieces, both solo and collaborative... On his Mystery Sea sort of innermost diary "This Heat Holds Snow", he pinpoints life's inherent contradictions... Afloat & shivering furtive voices percolate making time standing still... Long hollow sounds scrape the dregs Our thin skins are gone through by dark streams & unspoken dreams... - The city sleeps, and we hear its sighs, articulated absences, harsh rain fading our illusions, our dust memories... Small tides lick the walls, swallowing the pale lights, radiating like an ultimate gesture of atonement... " [label description] www.mysterysea.net
