Nice release here from the Room 40 mainman, whipping up a frenzied whirlwind of satisfyingly noisy ambience on the highly elemental A-side while the B-side strikes me as somehow more architectural despite a superficially similar sound palette. I find that he really excels at creating truly deep environments, ones which feel completely tangible to you as if you could get up and explore them physically. Again, perhaps the 7" isn't the best format for something like this but judged on their own merits these are two really good examples of his craft.
These pieces were composed for Circas Regarding the Joy of Others, Recorded and produced at 158, Brisbane, 09/09-01/10.
Lawrence English is media artist, composer and curator based in Australia. Working across an eclectic array of aesthetic investigations, Englishs work prompts questions of field, perception and memory. He utilises a variety of mediums including live performance, audio/visual environments, found sound/vision to create his work that typifies his interests in creating experiences that create subtle transformation of space and ask audiences to become aware of that which exists at the edge of perception. Englishs work over the past decade, both in performative and gallery settings, has earned him a strong reputation as one of the unique voices producing sound artworks from within Australia. He has presented concerts and installed pieces for numerous festivals including Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival (UK), Observatori (Spain), Outro_Rio (Brazil), Unsound (Poland) and AltMusic (New Zealand) amongst others. He also curates the burgeoning ROOM40 imprint, the Someone Good label and organises numerous events and festival throughout Oceania. His solo album, Kiri No Oto [Touch # Tone 31] was released in 2009 and has been described variously as "gorgeous", "A great piece of subconscious architecture" and "sublime".
