The Sleep Sessions - Lead into Gold [Harsh Noise - 2008]The sleep sessions is the solo project of Dawid A. Kowalski from Kielce in Poland, this is the projects second full length release of brutal and active noise interspead with traces of field recordings. Lasting just over the 30 minute mark and taking in 4 tracks of boiling, slamming and erupting of electronic tones that shift through effective/intresting sonic terrains, ups & downs of pitchers & roarings and tearings. The most interesting element here is the use of suddenly cutting into often tranquil field recordings of bird song ect -from the noise battering this gives quite a jarring effect. There are also some nice traces of overloaded electrionca and synth structure here and there too. The tracks have a fair amount of variation between each and in all this makes a enjoyable searing if not that orignal noise attack, with some nice effective sonic elements at play that will be interesting to see how they grow in future releasers Another worthwhile release from the always consistent and interesting harsh noise label, to hear samples and buy direct drop in here.
