Details:
Longtime and prolific sound artist Pholde is the ambient side of Alan Bloor, who is also known for his extreme noise project called Knurl. Pholde creates ambient soundscapes by the bowing and scraping of self-created metal sound-sculptures with other metal objects. For the first time on this recoring, Alan introduces the subtle and beautiful accompaniement of violin.
The resulting violin works absolutely wonderfully with signature pholde ''floating metal'' ambience. There''s a remarkable refinement of composition here as well; improv and open but just the right economy: never do strings sound cliche against the always interesting songs of the prepared metals nor vice versa. The violin is like a siren song wafting in the shadows of the singing scrap yard. The strings play as do the metals--with just the right doses of restraint and space--co-mingling to, as, indeed, a most ''luminous'' effect.
