{"product_id":"black-swan-4","title":"Black Swan","description":"Photographer: Thierry Burlot.\u003cbr\u003eCristian Vogel has lived several musical lives: avant-garde composition student under the tutelage of Martin Butler and Jonathan Harvey; techno producer and remixer; founding father of the No Future collective; singer and guitarist with Night of the Brain. Black Swan finds him working in a mode than combines most of those influences. His background in musique concrète informs his choice of sound sources for this three-track program; those sources include a recording of traditional Japanese music, an electric guitar played in the reverberant environment of a Swiss mountain pass, a sample of noises from a pachinko hall, and looped-up synthesizers. But it is his work as a techno producer that seems to have wielded the most influence over his treatments of his sound sources; although steady rhythm rarely makes an appearance, there is a strong element of ambient dubbiness to the shimmering textures of \"Sora Tobu Black Swan,\" while \"Rocks in Motion\" sounds like a small avalanche of computer glitches followed by echoing near-silence in an enormous subterranean cavern filled with napping robots. \"Basecamp Beasts\" begins at a nearly subliminal volume and gradually grows in foreboding and dread; squeaks and cries eventually give way to electronic mutters and microscopic titters and whines. Toward the end, a rhythm emerges, but it's nothing like a groove. For fans of avant-electro and abstract sound sculpture. ~ Rick Anderson","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51441432559903,"sku":"5411867113034","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/93ee5031e220ad560350157e0d4cbe32_66e74ae0-34b5-4da5-9a3e-49384d5f154d.jpg?v=1782734131","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/black-swan-4","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
