"TAlking" music!

28/08/07

There's some almost-out-of-tune howling beauty in this music that I really like! I can't describe it better, since it has a lot to do with the attitude by which the guitars are played. I'm not usually a big fan of guitar music that draws on the heritage from Robert Fripp, but on this album those type of guitar sounds are sometimes used and still sound fresh. The playing is sparse and commentating, as opposed to "leading" playing that usually is more appreciated by the player than by the listener ;-). In this music there's no barrier between "sounds" and "melodic elements", which another aspect that makes it enjoyable to listen to. Eh... for me, I do know people that would feel sick and get a head ace from this music. Guess I'm just sick enough to like it! Everything, even the techno inspired elements, are playing "questions and answers" in the orchestration. It's "talking" music. Organic. Evolving. It brings you somewhere. Sirdis shares elements with other music that I like, for example jazz guitar player John Abercrombie or Miles Davis period with the "crazy broken circuit effect" guitarist Pete Cosey (Agharta), but Sirdis is not a guitar album. There are also a lot of delay effects, synth filter sweeps and a crispy vintage sounding drum machine, every little sound interacting with each other.
