The ghost of Kate Bush? ... Laurel Halo is more my life in the Bush of ghosts. Photography: Josef KraskaHometown: Brooklyn.
Range: INA Cube (music, production).
Background: New artist of Friday featured in this column because it is a phenomenon of sale in some parts of the globe. Act today is here because the textures and tones in his music appear to reflect the ever-changing nature of phenomena and phenomena of nature. That which we are concerned, for reasons of biography, the other mesmerises due to the quality of its sound.
It is not to suggest that it is not a character interesting in its own right. far from it. An electronic composer of 25 years of Iggy Pop home town of Ann Arbor born the Cube of the Ina, she said that she took the name of Laurel Halo because he "reminds me of video gameand the infinite." And it's fun to have a pseudonym. As a child, she learned classical piano and spent time in various orchestras, ensembles of improvisation and noise groups - and you can say his latest EP, a collection of the evolution of sound landscapes which are about what you imagine That Jon Hassell of the Fourth World albums might look slow: a blur or blend of ambient and electronic air composition of avant-garde and fluidity jazz and rhythms that could also easily emanate from Africa as they could leave an unknown place in space.
It is not surprising that this former radio College freeform DJ - i.e., it plays free music on the waves, at College not engages in a strange process of changing shape – has a penchant for the Sci - Fi, and likes to make ideas in this area focus on his music. Why? Because in Sci - Fi "you are always presented with what is outside of your field of current vision - your cultural situation, and technological capabilities - and I like to think of what exists outside your range of vision".
If you think that Ms. Halo sounds a little on the cerebral side, we have to agree. Dating currently Mr. Brainy himself, Daniel Lopatin aka Oneohtrix Point never, she sees music in terms of forms - "domes, arches, webs" - and tells how innovative music exposure systems early Steve Reich "" totally shattered the concept of waiting in my head"." Elsewhere, she talks about the influence of all, of the Detroit techno "asymptotic quantification of memory". His songs are mainly instrumental and it whispers or vapour trails of voices tweaked or processed, leading some to compare the sound for the ghost of Kate Bush, but it is more my life in the Bush of ghosts.
The piece of opening on his EP, aquifer, is all polyrhythm CAD-style and Oneohtrix pan-desperately. It is music that reveals little by little, that opens before your eyes, leaving lasting impressions on your retina. Constant index could be the soundtrack of a futuristic film in which Tom Cruise runs by an assailant unknown cyber while reflecting to the female of the device, with which he is suddenly been thrown together. Head is seven minutes of static, drones and interference which suggests forward-voodoo of snowmobile 23 engulfed by a cloud of ash. Speed of rain is heavily percussive without being oppressive and has a hint of acoustics and a sherd of Symphony, such as beatings with a radio dial and briefly down on different stations. Finally, logical time communicates wonder and wondrousness with music that induces a Pacific State. Prepare for after-shocks and happiness.
