HIGNELL, DANIEL ALEXANDER — Semblances

"Following on from 2009�s �Music for Film�, and 2010�s �Soundscape Studies�, Daniel Alexander Hignell�s third album is comprised of pieces written for his doctorate in composition, focused on sonic interjections into shared social space. The three works on offer are based on a 65 page text score, and utilize a modular synthesizer to create perpetually evolving, drone-based textures, combined with manipulated field-recordings, and bound together in avant-garde, minimalist structures. From these limited sonic materials, a rich sound-world is created, and repeated again and again in different contexts and modes, sometimes ambient, sometimes noisy, the work is a sea of perpetual yet barely perceptible changes.
Available on virgin white cassette with accompanying 60 page graphic score book.
For fans of: La Monte Young, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Charlemagne Palestine, Oren Ambarchi, Demdike Stare." [label info]
