"After numerous releases (Test Tube, U-Cover, Dataobscura, Resting Bell, Sentient Recognition Archive, SEM...) both on real and netlabels under the ENTIA NON moniker, offering up multi-dimensional ambient aural vignettes, Australian artist, James McDougall uses now his own name for asserting his yet deeper organic excursions (Compost & Height, Q-tone...). As such, he has accustomed us to vivacious & extremely detailed sonic microworlds & sparkling soundscapes...
Assembling meticulously magnetizing field recordings, found sounds & other fluctuating ingredients into natural new aura-esque sound entities, he succeeds in forging a well as constant source of amazement... Those recreated environments speak clearly further, owning an unutterable beauty, but most of all, they possess a strong power of evocation, a psychoactive essence...
His MS manifesto could well be his magnum opus to date...
In full deliquescence, elements disintegrate
corroded through the night...
Bubbling under, a myriad of stars,
and as many tiny resonances & chisellings
conjure up a world of boundless possibilities...
-
An ear to the ground, in the air, within the stream,
sensory close-ups,
auscultating the very heart of the matter...
Everything is abrasion, passage of time
"Dispossession of Periphery" blows out the sidelights
encouraging a deep sinking,
a tactile ceremony from which one can only come out grown in wisdom,
and expanded in perception...
