Tim Blechmann: s_n

"Got a total stumper here from Tim Blechmann. s_n (Moka Bar 3" CD-R) consists of a single 19 minute piece for laptop and bass. Where, exactly, the line between these instruments lies is not apparent to a mook such as I. The music has a droney, underwater quality, which means that, well, its zeitgeist lies somewhere between Moroder's Einzelganger and Pauline Oliveros. There is a rumble that increases as time passes, making me imagine that we're either approaching the source, or that our head is getting ready to explode. Either way a decent enough feeling."
