A new review for Parallel Perspectives

Our chums at Vital Weekly in the Netherlands have received, listened to and got enveloped by Procter // Poulsen's "Parallel Perspectives" recent CD release on Ojud Records - here are their words taken from their website, which you should definitely visit - they review all kinds of great music there - link here


PROCTER & POULSEN - PARALLEL PERSPECTIVES (CDR by Ojud Records)

Given whatever I know from the work of Dave Procter and Claus Poulsen, I expected some harsh noise collaboration. I know Poulsen operates in many sub-genres from the world of noise, ambient, electronics and improvisation, but Procter I only know from his noise project Legion Of Swine, which he performs on stage with a pig’s mask. In January 2020 Procter visited Poulsen in his Studio Skrat and brought relatively low stuff and couple with Poulsen's instruments in similar style; a Casio SK1 (the lowest form of sampling), tapes, vinyl, amplified objects, pedals, feedback and laptops to manipulate field recordings. The result is a single piece, lasting fifty-three minutes and there is very little noise to be spotted here; far from actually. These tones just wander about, slowly and majestically. It starts with more ubiquitous drones on the organ and vinyl crackles but slowly unfolds in a richer pattern of treated cymbal sounds, spacious drones, more crackles and seems to be getting the addition of guitar drones and in the second half unfolds a more ended playing between the two, with the drones now in a cascading form, coming and going like waves upon a shore. The vinyl crackles remain a thing throughout here, but they are used with such fine sparseness that it doesn't get into the way of the rest of the music. A constant change, both within instruments and sounds used, remains part of these excellent pieces. I zoned and droned out on this, sitting, flipping through pages, looking for mistakes, as part of something else. I didn't notice that it was on repeat and I must have played this 3 or 4 times in a row the first afternoon I got this. (FdW)
