...according to our Phil on 26 January 2012.
I loved the last album by this chap. I think so far it has been my favourite 12K release and I guess a lot of people agreed as it sold out pretty quickly and has been unavailable for a while now. So I was quite excited about listening to this one! The story behind this one is Marcus ran a blog called ‘Dust Breeding’ where he wanted to do a creative project once a day for a year. These could be photos, field recordings, design, sewing, music...all sorts! Here the best of the music based tracks are lumped on to a CD for instant gratification. He does create a beautiful sound. He creates a world of soundscapes and textures with feeling that other folks struggle to emulate. There’s a lot of people doing this electro acoustic type thing but this chap’s work stands head and shoulders above the rest. It’s something to sit back and savour. Just get enveloped in his warm wonderful world of sounds and textures and before you realise it, it’s time to press play again. It sits very nicely with ‘Monocoastal’ and any fans of 12K’s consistently strong output should check this out. Remarkable stuff from the Fischer King.
Marcus Fischer is a musician and multimedia artist currently based in Portland, Oregon. Field recordings, chance, and DIY instruments, coupled with acoustic instrumentation and visual art, define what has become his minimal signature. His uncanny ability to sculpt delicate beauty from the simplest of sound elements results in compositions that are both intimate and expansive.
From January 2009 through January 2010, Marcus kept a blog called Dust Breeding to document the results of his goal to complete one creative project a day for 365 days. These projects included photographs, field recordings, design, illustration, sewing, videos, DIY electronics experiments and music. He reached his goal of one full year of daily entries and has continued to add entries over the last few years, though less frequently.
Each piece on Collected Dust first appeared in its original form on Dust Breeding. After being selected for this collection by M. Ostermeier, each piece was updated and refined further by Marcus. The patient, reflective, and peaceful style found on Collected Dust's seven tracks inhabits a space somewhere near that of his debut CD for 12k, Monocoastal, which landed on many best-of-2010 lists, and his recent In a Place of Such Graceful Shapes collaboration with Taylor Deupree, who mastered this recording.
