Here we have the second installment in this series of modular synthesizer archive recordings. There's so much to explore over the 70 minutes as Jim masterfully weaves a sonic cocoon. Once I'm in it feels like entering a secret world full of twists and turns. There's a lot to absorb and it really is just one of those electronic music experiences that you need to to just submerge into rather than read about it. So simply if you enjoyed the first installment then this is an essential companion.
Recorded at Steamroom, Tokyo, 2009-2011
Hot on the hells of OLD NEW #5 comes #6, a new 70+ minute electronic piece split over four sides. Two years in making, ‘all that’s cold is new again’ was partly commissioned by Christian Zanesi for GRM’s Présences Électronique Festival in Paris. An intense and rewarding listen rich in detail and of full of some classic O’Rourke hooks and turns, which he has masterfully developed over the last two decades.
This one is for Peter F.
Available only in this format.
