KMAN is proud to release, on digital and physical format, John Hoegberg and Nicky Smith's collaboration Movies.
Duets for applied guitar (effects as extension of a resonant, electrical process). Textures, surfaces overlaid - squelches, twang, hiss, gulps, ripples, heat. Soundtrack for an imaginary film or alternate tunes for many films.
Roland Barthes wrote about the twofold experience of movie-going - the viewer follows or is captivated by all the perceptual lures on-screen and through the speakers while at the same time sensing the erotic pull of the dark room, the old wall and ceiling fixtures lingering invisible, the breath and hum of dozens of other minds and bodies, collective solitudes - perhaps we are hearing here the soundtrack of this simultaneity in the crosshatched mindmeld of these singular players.
Recommended for fans of Fennesz, Black Dice, Ecstatic Sunshine, Jim O'Rourke...
