Probably I’m not the most proper guy for such kind of a review. I mean, Noise/Ambient did obviously ever interest some inner folds of myself and that’s why I’ve avocated with alike creations even at an amateur level. The truth is that the mentioned release has been checked out a long time ago on the network by my hungry eyes and its distribution via a 1.0 USB stick is a so damn fetish! A delicate issue concerning alike releases is about the amplitude and easiness of their distribution since they’re not under the common norm of a “record copy” which will be served on the stores shelves globally. Pascal Cretain, on his MySpace profile, was strict about the number of copies of the featured collection. Only 256 lucky bastards (or simply interested guys?) would be able to obtain this so beautiful electronic stick. This stick in which there’s a collaboration between Noise/Experimental artists and Subversive Technologists/Computer Hackers. Each one of them contributes his work either visually or acoustically. What does this mean anyway? Some artists presented their recorded soundscapes, some others a few drawings, others simply a video clip they’ve created accompanied by their own synthetic noise and others provides us with some software material. Concisely, the Noise artists have created the music of the computers and reversely some others translate Noise music in images or words. The whole conception of this release should be described as avant-garde at least. Let’s take a glance at the matter of this stuff, though. AFamily Battle Snake recording is always interesting and Sarah’s Charity are always sensational. The “Information Pollution” video clip made by Pascal Cretain is the true highlight of this collaboration. It fills you with disgust and stress while at the same time it empties anything useless in you. Probably the visual synonym for the word technostress. At least, that’s been its impact on me personally. Close your eyes and try focusing in the innermost of you. Keep zooming until you are able to see your own molecules. The out-of-our-frequencies music that’s stemming out of the friction between these molecules could be found in some of the sounds of “Noise vs. Subversive Computing”. We might be more digital than we think us to be. Pascal, thanx for this supply. Now I’m one of those lucky bastards, too…
