MENCHE, DANIEL — Eye on the Steel

"Unlike the previous release by Menche, Eye On The Steel features many shorter tracks. The material is therefore much more diverse, consisting of thirteen new compositions, including Menche's first entirely vocal based track. The sound on Eye On The Steel is heavily based around drones, pulses and ambient noise, falling somewhere in the territories often treaded by labels like Mego and Ant Zen. When asked about the sound sources behind Eye On The Steel, Menche stresses the record is his most diverse offering yet and includes loads of different sound sources. His work often stems from sound sources as varied as the body (heart, skin, lungs, larynx) and natural field recordings relying on wind, animals, insects, water, fire, and stones to crude and primitive electronics, broken microphones, damaged speakers, antique audio equipment, truck horns, mangled drones from accordions, melodicas, organs, and bass guitars with heavy gauged strings."
