"On the first of the four tracks here, New Zealand experimental musician David A. Edwards spins out these dry verbal expositions of descriptive details in rhythmic and purely compulsive floods, while behind his NZ accented narrative various bloops, noodles and skittering musical sounds are smeared around the canvas. Almost poetry, but often more like verbal textures rather than a focus on the words themselves. His speaking delivery seem purposely emotionless. The second is an instrumental folkish thing that devolves into a battle between squids wearing black rubber raincoats. The third track is sung and perhaps the most "normal" moment here, with a meandering songlike structure and more compulsive verbiage. The fourth and final is almost 24 minutes of narration, swooping bass notes walking through the darkness, clattering spastic percussion, as the words seem to merge film noir dialog with surreal beat poetic train of consciousness."

Listening to it!

Very interesting! I need more time with this kind of music, certainly it's not an easy listening album. The NZ accent bring a special flavor to the narrative, and the musical discourse is completely unusual, almost chaotic.

As much as I can say I appreciate what you're doing, it just turns out that I didn't entirely enjoy it.

The lyrical flow is really interesting to me. I'm still interested in hearing more from you if you do plan to make more music.

Ich empfinde es oft als kleinen Spagat,
wenn ich experimentelle Musik wie dies hier vorliegende Werk bewerte.

Verstehe und werte ich sie richtig?

oder anders gefragt:

wie versteht und wertet man Experimentalmusik überhaupt,
dessen „Aussage“ sich einem mehr oder weniger gänzlich entzieht?

In dem vorliegendem Fall habe ich es aber zum Glück nicht mit einer Arbeit zu tun,
der ich völlig ratlos gegenüberstehe.

Sie vermag mich durchaus – phasenweise – an die Hand zu nehmen –
während mir andere Passagen zu unordentlich und konfus scheinen,
als dass ich mich wirklich auf sie einlassen kann/will.

Interessant und gleichzeitig erholsam empfand ich z.B. solche Oasen (Gitarre und Gesang) wie die in „Beeing an Naked“. Aber auch den 2 Track fand ich über weite Strecken spannend.

Der vierte Track ist eine fast 24minütige Erzählung mit einigen Bass-Begleitungen,
die gegen Ende eine surreale Färbung bekommt.

Fazit:

für mich bleiben die 4 Stücke in sich zusammenhanglos – phasenweise zwar gut bis sehr gut – aber im Ganzen doch zu substanzlos
