Norbert Möslang - Header_Change [Cut - 2007]

Norbert Möslang is a visual artist and musician from Switzerland & Header_Change finds him creating shifting, sinister,alien atonal sound sheens from fellow Swiss video artist Silvie Defraoui stills.

Möslang is just credited with computers so I presume some how he’s converted and manipulated the stills into audio format. Each of the seven tracks are built around droning cold metallic and slightly shifting main tones, with other Crackling muffled sub tones appearing around the edges and swimming through the main tone. Talking of swimming that’s exactly what track seven sound's like swimming in a sea of grey and white electronic pixels, as if you dived into the pc screen or into you televisions endless snowy static. Many of the other tracks give the feeling of waking up & finding yourself stuck inside a metallic, wire and circuit board licked Cube, much like the Canadian 90’s sci-fi thriller of the same name that details a group of people been stuck inside a series of metallic and technology advance cubes, that shifted are around them. The sound air here is very tight and compacted, bringing on the feeling of been enclosed in a sinister, emotionless environment of steel, circuit boards and cruelty. As usual with cut label releasers it comes in a nice screen printed card folder, With the only slight disappointment been that there no pictures of the video stills Möslang used to create the 7 tracks.

A very satisfying exercise in oppressive tone manipulation and cold malevolent sci-fi dread. To find out more, hear sound samples and buy direct lock into this cold metallic portal.
