"The four parts of this tempestuous nocturnal journey, take us through rain soaked labyrinthine streets and alleyways of a shadowy metropolis reminiscent of the film "Blade Runner" or a much smaller and strange decrepit world like one conjured up by the Brothers Quay.
Either way, the work definitely sounds as if we were listening to this particular world from a very small perspective like that of a fly or a moth.
The fourth part of this work ends in such a way that doesn't provide a sense of completion, but leaves the listener wanting the journey to continue. Who knows? Maybe it will with a sequel? We shall see."
(Dale Lloyd, and/OAR)

(Dale Lloyd, and/OAR)
and/OAR launches a new series of releases in mp3 format only, thus an online catalogue.
The first title is a collaboration between Jonathan Benham and Christopher McFall, both Texan sound artists, the second who released in the past years many works in digital format and a CD on Entr’acte label in 2007.
McFall deals primarily with environmental recordings submitted to computer treatments: his method consists in transforming them through computer-based processes.
In this case, sound sources were provided by Benham who used a digital recorder and occasionally an analog tape, whereas McFall manipulated and re-worked them according to his approach.
They obtained four parts (but substantially one long piece, considering that there is a logical continuity of execution) wherein atmospheric soundscapes rise above a field recording structure of basis.
Different sources are edited, processed, combined, amalgamated, determining a suggestive, obscure, crepuscular mass of sounds.
Perhaps the best work of Christopher McFall so far.
