Reviews of Filaments & Voids [12k1050]

Nada é garantido. Nem sequer a tendência benigna ou maligna de um piano, que tantas vezes oscila entre a melancolia desfalecente de William Basinski e outras incursões mais negras.

I urge you to investigate.

Es gibt Tonträger, da kann man als Rezensient sich die Finger blutig schreiben.

Interessante e sostanzioso il fluviale doppio Filaments & Voids del newyorkese Kenneth Kirschner.

En effet, sur le plan musical, l’États-unien choisit de mettre en place des textures ŕ peine perceptibles, passant par de micro-oscillations, de tous petits souffles ou de tintements quasi-inaudibles.

Stilte speelt op deze dubbel-cd van Kenneth Kirschner een even belangrijke rol als geluid. Korte drones zwellen aan en sterven weg, afgwisseld met volkomen stiltes.

Piano prepardo. A Kenneth Kirschner le sucede que los disco se le quedan pequeńo.

Un double album qui, selon les dires de Kirschner lui-même, a des racines cosmologiques.

it almost swallows you up with it’s hazy grim dwell and almost brings tears to ones eyes in places as Kirschner really seems to tap into your psyche at such an primal emotional level.

Silence et vide.

an expression of a multi-purpose and precise nature which is both a glorification of the indistinct and a very fine exercise of poetry.

Un nouveau florilčge de pičces composées par Kenneth Kirschner parait chez 12k, le label de Taylor Deupree qui confirme son appréciation pour le travail atmosphérique du minimaliste américain.

Complexes et mystériseux.

Kirschner is predomiantly interested in the way sound surfaces from silence, encouraging listeners to engage with tonal qualities and textures as notes materilise from, and plunge back into, absence.

E anche quando pare di ascoltare un piano, come acade in “March 16, 2006”, che occupa per intero il secondo disco, l’impressione č che davvero questi suoni siano stati concepiti nell’indistinto di un’era ante-biologica

Kirschner’s minimalist approach to forming these evocative streams of subconscious resonance carry a lasting effect for those who patiently experience it

Die letzte musikalische Versuchung FIlaments & Voids eine Doppel-CD-Collection von Kenneth Kirschner, stellt ein scheinbar unergründbares Simulakrum dar.

though the pieces are indeed tranquil, they are all also restless with disappearances whose traces are never entirely gone but experienced here, there, and everywhere.

in the final analysis what is most memorable is the fact that this piece is so achingly beautiful.

A tremendous collection of detailed, microsonic compositions.

eliciting memories of pale yellow lights at night in a thick fog, insubstantial misconceptions of melody gradually turning into a disheartening chronic condition of vulnerability.

a washing microtonal exploration where the piano is transformed into something of a pulsing electronic harmonium or crystalline organ.

Rauschende Stille und Klangunsauberheiten werden hier ein weisters Mal zu wirkungsvollen Stilmitteln.

Do nothing, and just listen, and watch the snow falling. Kirschner is the master of snow music, the Rotkho of sound.
