But watch out: just at the moment of hypnosis the scenario is completely convoluted and the sound becomes coarse and varied, cuts the air and tries to attack. The nightmare begins again, and once more the listener is forced to change his attitude, define a new reaction to the input. The beauty and uniqueness of Duncan's music is fully captured in this continuous change of situations, dynamics, sounds and emotions which is the microscopic photography of life itself. --Massimo Ricci A revealing and occasionally brutal glimpse into the soul of industrial power-electronics after the style of Merzbow. One harrowing 47-minute track. The squeamish need not apply. --Jeff Gibson, Other Music JOHN DUNCAN website: http://www.xs4all.nl/~jduncan ------Syndicate mailinglist-------------------- Syndicate network for media culture and media art information and archive: http://www.v2.nl/syndicate to unsubscribe, write to <syndicate-request@aec.at> in the body of the msg: unsubscribe your@email.adress
