447:"The Deep is the latest composition - and we're definitely talking composition here: you can even check out the score online at the sleazeart website, and very interesting it is too - by Kasper Toeplitz for KERNEL, his laptop trio with Eryck Abecassis and Wilfried Wendling. There's plenty of information about the group and their instrumentation (i.e. software, for the most part) at the sleazeart site, but no amount of background reading and scrutiny of KTT's pdfs (you'll need a smattering of French) can prepare you for the impressive 59'33" of The Deep. Since Paul D. Miller and his chums made Xenakis suddenly hip a few years back, far too many musicians have been quick to claim some kind of Xenakis street cred, but very few compositions pack the clout of Bohor or La LĂ©gende d'Eer. Happy to report that The Deep is one of them. Toeplitz has a real feel not only for the large form - which is not simply a question of taking a short form and stretching it out: ask Eliane Radigue, who worked closely with KTT on the realisation of her Elemental II back in 2004 - but for the surface and texture of the sounds he and his playing partners choose to articulate it. Any self-respecting fan of Xenakis, Radigue or EAI for that matter (putting any anti-composer prejudice aside) should check this splendid work out at the earliest opportunity." 463:"Le DĂ©peupleur is the name by which the ongoing collaboration between veteran sound artists Toeplitz and Karkowski has been known since the late 90s. in a field dominated by solo performers, both do much of their best work in partnership with others: Toeplitz has performed with Art Zoyd, among others, while Karkowski has released albums with such luminaries of noise and non-noise as Merzbow and The Hafler Trio.It's the latter's recent work that this album most resembles: another single 50 minute track that reveals itself steadily over its first 30 minutes and then recedes slowly into silence, the duo managing to imbue their minimalism with a sense of geniue mystery. It's a challenging listen and though it makes few concessions to conventional notions of beauty, it never alienates. Oscillating feedback tones, blurred at the edges by a spray of soft white noise, are woven into the tough gossamer thread that spins out of the piece's duration. Le DĂ©peupleur demands attention and rewards it correspondingly." 261: 128: 25: 66: 488:
establishment through her work with Pierre Henry, the mystery and magic of Radigue's music occupies a twilight zone of minimalism between the static drones of Young, Conrad and Niblock and the gradual processes of Reich and Glass.
