Today is officially drone day. Although Ophibre might take exception to me saying that, since he describes himself as a 'sound artist' he'd probably rather I compared him to Botticelli or someone rather than La Monte Young or some other mere music person. Having said that, I can actually do both in one sentence.. He's not as good. Who says men can't multitask? Nah, he's not bad. NNNE is just the one long track anchored by a buzzy drone while new sounds occasionally come and go, shifting the emphasis. Eventually it sounds like someone hoovering a fishtank, the sound we've all been waiting. for! I've made it sound rubbish, haven't I. I didn't mean to make it sound rubbish, it's actually quite good but obviously it's one you need bit of patience for.This is the next release that I have been working on.Its by Ophibre and called "NNNE".Ophibre is Benjamin Rossignol, a sound artist living in Boston, USA. His pieces tend to reflect upon the given medium/s of sonic delivery and the potential modes of engaging with them. He is interested in drones, ones that are aural and those to be translated or expressed. His label, Oph Sound, is focused on limited run releases of album art.
