CD: The futuristic sound of Zbigniew Karkowski"ElectroStatics"The Pole Zbigniew Karkowski, resident in Japan, is and remains in a league of his own. In his almost elegiac pieces of micro-structured noise and rhythm settings the entire visionary range is shown to advantage – whether with the laptop or, as here, going back to his "roots" and using electro acoustic means. The name of the 40-minute piece – "ElectroStatics" – reveals immediately that this is what a power short circuit might sound like. Karkowski here relates to the great tradition of electro-acoustic music, after all this work was made during his time in the Atelier de Création Radiophonique/Maison de Radio France in Paris. "ElectroStatics" is Karkowski's first analogous work for more than ten years. Inevitably, a few connections to concrete sound generation are revealed. In fact the album almost sounds futuristic. This is not, however, a step back to around 1910 but an exploration of the musical aesthetics of machines. A timeless œuvre, disturbing and calming, eruptive and static.Related external links: |
