Nundata - Carousel [Kabrakarakadabra Records - 2010]

Prolific and elusive, Nundata graces us with their release Carousel in 2010.  Born form the mind of Srdjan Eftimovski, the vague project is a mix of noisy ambient and drone.   Yet it is a little more than easily explained.  Using that noisy foundation Nundata produces a psychedelic, frightening and but still fascinating creation.

We begin with “Neural Intersection”.  A child-like music box background is intermixed with Churner-esque buried vocals.  High pitched piercing tones and a wash of static make for a psychotic combination, and yet we want to hear more.  The childrens ride music and intense avalanche of grinding, pulsing sounds are relentless.  Onward to “Death Of The Transmitter.  Reverberating, low frequency scratchy sound oozes into an intermittent glitchy static.  Ominous, bombastic and violently fierce, it all rolls together into a malevolent being of a song.  With “Serotoneon” creates a curious feeling of organic sounds.  We’re sure everything is electronically made yet here everything feels very earthy. Even the buzz saw effects and static feel natural.  Still, our clever Nundata ties it all up with a bow that makes even the most organic sound futuristic and modern.

What is most compelling about Carousel is that yes it is noise, but it is noise done with variety.  As “Neural Intersection” creates a vision of scary clowns and cotton candy, “Death Of The Transmitter” is a lesson in violent and cruel atmospheres.  Then there is “Serotoneon” with its ultramodern attitude of noise and drone.

It is a stimulating combination that Eftimovski creates and one that hopefully will follow in other future releases.  Sometimes when listening to artists under the noise banner it’s truly refreshing to find a project that tries to deviate from the standard sound and truly try to construct something that is as noisy as it is eloquent.
