David PapapostolouOne And Two

[Self releash — 2006]
Reviewed 23 December 2006by Roger Batty
This is improviser and sound artist David Papapostolou first  cd releaser, offering up 3 tracks of improvised music utilizing acoustic guitar, Cello and Soprano Sax. All of the tracks seems heavy with world weary hazy, like watching figures move off across a iced white landscape.

May be it’s  he way he  producing long hovering tones and feed back /noise hazes that give this barren cracked cold landscape. He then adds various instrument;  sawings, scuttling and dry ice scrapings.Also he  incorporates elements of  hissing, breathing , loud silences and mummers of background sound, which builds depth and rich  micro tones into the tracks. The album creates a  feeling akin to watching  birds and animals  forging for food in winter licked lands. Or listening from with-in a forest to the slow echo of heavey trucks on a winters road.The three tracks last around the seven minutes a piece, which leaves the cd a little short, but never the less worthwhile.

A rewarding bit of mood setting improvised music, which you can hear samples of and buy direct from David here.
