"frame"
is the much anticipated follow up release to last year's debut
"optimal.lp", a cd which caused quite a bit of critical stir as
a very impressive and original work for a new artist. dan abrams
(aka: shuttle358) seamlessly blends stark textures/drones with
digital disfunction. clicks, skips and tiny mechanised rhythms
intertwine in hypnotic form that abrams allows to evolve in a
very organic way.
"frame" picks up where "optimal.lp" left off. a bit more distant
with excursions into deeper realms of abrams' signature skittish
minimalist rhythmic work.
"frame" includes a video, shot by abrams himself, in DVCAM for
the title of the album. it is available on the cd in quicktime
format as well as a separate high-res VHS
release. the use of movement and abstracted forms along with a
subtle color palatte of whites, blues and yellows is a perfect
visual accompanyment to the fragile rhythms of the soundtrack.
dan abrams/shuttle358:
"if you put an empty frame against a blank wall, you suddenly
notice the the color, the patterns, the imperfections in the plaster.
the frame is like a window of perception. it takes the wall outside
time. the frame draws attention to what is within it - it magnifies
it, you focus on it, it begins to symbolize the whole wall."
