The music on this release is split between the two musicians, performing solo ambience. The tracks alternate like a checkerboard, making the flow rather erratic. K.M Krebs' compositions are more traditional atmospherics, with harmonics that wind like a slithering aerial snake creating minor ripples in the sonic flow, then along comes unexpected sidereal sounds that serve to agitate the even-tempered flow. Treated strings often replace the electronic drone, vibrating strangely so as to divorce themselves from their source. Heath Yonaites' style tends to lace his ambience with edgy rhythms and unpredictable outbursts. Controlled bottle-rolling is employed, which always adds an eerie touch to minimal harmonics. The presence of toy piano injects a childlike quality to some of the music. SONIC CURIOSITY -------- This album is wonderful-- it is very original and succeeds in being quite hypnotic, as well. Part of the fun of listening is trying to identify what sounds one is hearing. This is a pleasantly difficult task. Sounds from strange sources, heavily processed, are artfully arranged. . . some reach out to your ear, others remain at the horizon. . . I was astonished by the creativity and diversity of these tracks. Truly a great release! -------- Pleasant memories are associated with this album of which I am fortunate enough to have a copy of the CD-R release. The Seed Project gave me my first serious exposure to the music of both K. M. Krebs and Heath Yonaites and has had a major influence on my interest and tastes in electronic music. In this release, each artist creates beautiful aural amalgams by manipulating and processing sound samples provided by the other. My favorite genres can be found here: spacious ambient drones, episodes of dark ambient, electroacoustic elements, abstract moments, along with hints of microsound and glitch. Download, listen, enjoy, and absorb. |
