MARC BEHRENS - 'Architectural Commentaries 4 & 5' CD (Entr'Acte)
The recording for this Architectural Commentary took place at Resonance FM, London, in June 2004. Patrick McGinley and Behrens recorded the studio equipment itself, the drive noises, ventilation, vibrations in the machines, the studio’s air conditioning, doors… This particular array of sound forms the sole and exclusive basic material for Architectural Commentary 5: Some Models for Resonant Behaviour and links the cycle to earlier music pieces constructed with sounds from computer labs. Loosely based on Luigi Nono’s idea of ‘isole musicali’. "...encyclopaedic variations of themes are generated and often highlighted by silent breaks, like islands, between the individual parts, all different in form and size, but topologically similar.” Ltd x 300 copies a heat sealed medical-type bag.

MARC BEHRENS / PAULO RAPOSO - 'Hades' CD (and/OAR)
Adorning the cover of this release is a beautiful image of ferry boats on a calm, yet brooding expanse of water; and it's from these ferries that all the original sounds were sourced. They were then reformed, reprocessed and manipulated to make a series of hauntingly beautiful sound sculptures that carry all the hallmarks of menace and darkness that the name would suggest. Resonant textures, high frequencies, noisy punctuations, which are evocative of the original source material. Stark interludes combine to give the listener a very compelling listen indeed. Recommended for fans of the more abstract end of electronic music. Gatefold cover.
