Aube — Comet
Aube really does milk some wonderfully textures of sound from his sources, each disk runs an hour a piece, through out the quality is high and captivating. It just seems to pulling you further and further into it’s strange alien beauty. Tremor from the first disk,starts off with echoed tones like slow down techno, then we are crowded by wonderful slashing,melting ice beat patterns. Next you feel like your sliding back and forth, in a melting ice ship deck, this is music that invites you in deeper with each new sound patten that’s added, the music has a chilling activeness to it. Obstruction feels like the very air around you is forming into crisp ice molecules, Aube stretches out such a breath taking collection of dense sound pitches. It almost as if the room’s temperature has dropped and you can see your own breath.
Disk two for the most part, enters an ever more striped down form of sound art. As mentioned early on, the sound used here is space, and all the track have a great feeling of anticipation, like drifting through space away or towards something. Marginal Gravity,utilizing a repeated tone, much like a Raster noton track to start with, but not really in a rthymic manner . As the track builds up and layers are added it feels like your in a vast chamber travelling through space and it’s expanding as you drift on, the track has such almost sterile quality to it. Tune Float is the minimalistic pitter patter of tinny static tones, which again seem to grow in almost a swarm like way, like your head is slowly filling up with maps of stars and strange weather systems.
A Captivating journey through sound, each disk complementing each other , the title of Comet seems very apt, as Aube investigate first the comet building blocks ice, then the space the comet travels through.But dont hang about this is limted to 500 copies!- you can buy it direct here
