Seeded Plain
"Land Tracts" CD
Featherspines
Genre: free improv, experimental
Mar 30, 2009 |
This collaboration between Jay Kreimer
and experimental scene veteran Bryan Day (of Public Eyesore
fame) is a mesmerizing audio canvas of sonic detritus. On a bed of
brooding darkness, Kreimer and Day emit creaks, groans,
and other ephemera to create a brilliantly
haunting work of improvised experimental music. The record sounds like
the score to a terrifying horror film, almost incidental in its
abstractness yet still carefully orchestrated. I'm not sure if this
was recorded in an empty, haunted mansion but the reverberation of
each clatter and clang makes it sound that way. With only sixty copies
kicking around, Land Tracts might not be around for long. This,
of course, is a shame, because Kreimer and Day have
recorded a fine example of free improv done just right.
