Endlich eine volle CD vom französischen field-recording Meister YANNICK DAUBY (der auch eine Hälfte von ENTRELACS ist) !!!! Auf fünf Stücken finden wir hier bearbeitete Natur- & Feldaufnahmen (v.a. Meer & Wind) voller mysteriöser Klänge....von konkret bis rauschend, aber immer sanft und betörend....
“...Low Valley consists of five tracks, ranging from almost 7 to almost 17minutes in duration. Since there is no accompanying information, all explanations about this work stay in the realm of the fantastic. So let's stick to the audible: small sounds drift in from silence, fading in and out. It must be rain or other water sounds, filtered, manipulated, but recognisable. There are also cicada's and buzzing insects, birds singing, together with a person doing almost nothing, just being there, electrifying things. Furthermore there are electronic devices going haywire and sinewaves weaving themselves through the fabric of sound. Okay, this may sound complicated, but it is actually not so much so. I believe that Dauby is enigmatic with a good reason: ultimately the sound sources are not overly important, the result is. And it must be said without hesitation that his compositions are strong and compulsive and deserve all the attention the listener can give them. This work is very well crafted and there is no doubt that Dauby has learned the tricks of the trade very well indeed. Recommended!” [MR / Vital Weekly]
