the musique concrete ensemble remixed – dissolution tapes (zeromoon)

the label known as zeromoon started in 2000, as outgrowth to document and disperses works focused on free, improvised, music concrete and radical music that fall outside of any established genres. and they are successfully following this definition with their releases. this is their fourth cd release and it is a remix compilation. original musical themes are recorded by the musique concrete ensemble, normal music's secret alter ego, and than were given to every participant to make remix. with that principle they tried to keep the stylistic consistency of music from one side and to challenge the contributors from other side. observed conceptually and by sound, dissolution tapes looks like a whole release by one artist, not just like a compilation or remix compilation. unified character is explicitly noticeable. tracks are very equal by its sound and answer is very simple and it’s hidden in the remixing artists (cornucopia, alexei borisov, anton nikkila, freiband, ultra milkmaids, violet, jacob kirkegaard, maja ratkje, kotra, dead letters, andrey kiritchenko, das torpedoes, michael gendreau, r.r. habarc, francisco lopez, rechord, fe-mail). they are stylistic and conceptually very similar so they did very similar work. tracks follow the sound stream from ambiental structures (of cornucopia and andrey kiritchenko), minimal noisy and glitchy variations (of kotra, alexei borisov, anton nikkila), minimalistic drones (of francisco lopez, freiband and violet) to quiet melodic moments (of das torpedoes, rechord and jacob kirkegaard). despite quiet long, listen to this compilation whole in one breath, it worth.
