In der schönen MIXER 7”-Reihe nun auch eine VÖ von JOE COLLEY, enthalten sind acht meditative Mandala-loops, in die sich sublime, in hypnotische Reihen anordnende Geräuscheffekte einschleichen.... meisterhaft gut !
“ Joe Colley has been producing sound and initiating related projects for some time now. To some known as Crawl Unit, he has been working under his given name more and more over the past few years. Colley makes music, builds installations, works with video-artists, dancers and prisoners. Twaalfde Mixer is the second title in our double 7" series which started off with a Kaffe Matthews release one-and-a-half years ago.
"Twaalfde Mixer - 8 phased loops" is really not much more than that, but not much less either. This title is the unpretentiousness itself, showing you the simple fade-in, crossfade and fade-out of eight loops, each layered in four loops, four sides, two loops per side to make eight again. These tracks shift around and take on many faces despite their mantranic behaviour. Tiny discrepencies between loopingpoints make them stumble,spin around, velocitate, build-up, break down and start all over again. They display the very simple but rich idea of repitition and phase-shifting very well.
The minimalistic idea of using many sources which lay very close to each other both in tone as well as in body, can be found here as well. Maybe not so much in appearence but most surely in the way these tracks were made. The composition in them, was created through friction between several layers, given a certain time. Neither beginning nor end are that important, what happens in between is and that is what is captured by the composer. Luckily these tracks don't stick and die at this old and strong concept, but go furthur and turn out to be energetic and fascinating pieces of music. All four have a propelling drive in them, at times purely rhythmical even, as well as a steady, calm and almost droney undertone. Maybe a "cruising- vibe" is best described. Humms and strings are cut-up by oscillating crackles, rumbles and other hard-to-pinpoint-sounds. Surplus of these works is the steady pace, making them excellent DJ-material as well.” [press release]
