4.0 out of 5 stars Philip Jeck- Sand LP Review (7/10), 20 April 2008
By experimusicdotcom "experiment with music" (united kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Philip Jeck began exploring composition using record players and electronics in the early 1980's. His most famous release came with `The Sinking of the Titanic', an acclaimed collaboration with Gavin Bryars and Alter Ego. With `Sand', Jeck makes a returns to the industrial textures that coloured his first release `Loopholes', but fuses them with his symphonic grace and continued development as a composer and live performer. The seven tracks on `Sand' move deep into the realms of organic dark ambience, similar in vein to Windy & Carl's suffocating sheets of atmospheric drone but morphed within a sci-fi-esque 2001: A Space Odyssey aesthetic. Haunting textures of buzzing drone, harsh crackle and deep lucid bass bob ceremoniously like rippling waves in a bitterly cold Nordic bay, the elements joining forces in an attempt to hide the solace of semi-recognisable melodies that have become so frayed and distant.

Jeck works with old records and record players salvaged from junk shops turning them to his own purposes and playing them like musical instruments. `Sand' was recorded live in Holland and England and edited using relatively rudimentary audio equipment which may contribute to the (intended) harshness of some of the prickly, treble heavy skree that exudes from the speakers. Occasional, scathing attacks of Merzbowian white noise will root listeners to their chairs whilst, in his quieter moments, shades of Thomas Brinkmann's turntable experiments seep through. `Fanfares' sounds like a sunken orchestra that gets caught up in a subversive loop, its frayed melodics hypnotically shimmering from beyond the droney sludge like shafts of light attempting in vain to penetrate the surface. `Shining' takes on an eerie sub-aqua arabesque vibe, like the forgotten recordings by krautrocker's `Agitation Free' on their fact-finding tour of Egypt. Subtly expanding oud-like drones waft over hypnotically meandering and slowly intensifying frequency manipulations to make a sound like a silent but deadly dust cloud engulfing a once bustling, now baron terrain.

Proceedings start to become denser in the second half of the album with the manipulated vinyl sounds expanding in stature to create lusher sheets of trans-melodic drone closer in sound to Tangerine Dream or a depressed Terry Riley who only has access to the leftside of his organ. The bustling of `Fanfares Over' recollects the dystopian aura of Blade Runner era Los Angeles with its mesmerising soundwave warps and percussive vinyl clicks that clamber progressively like an army of insects marching yonder. The whole thing then disappears into a short-lived static fuelled lull before a final onslaught of harsh blizzard-sonic's formed by jostling shards of drone and static. The abrupt ending is so abrupt that the ensuing silence psychically hurts. With `Sand' Jeck has crafted a surreal piece of progressive drone that swirls with hypnotic intent. (KS)


For fans of: The Caretaker, Wendy Carlos, Tangerine Dream, Thomas Brinkmann, Windy & Carl, Merzbow, Thomas Koner
