There’s nothing better than to hear new sounds with new ideas in new
music; new sounds=new ideas and originality in the realm of indie
music. What we have here is some psychiatric-themed, noise-machine
artwork that, without singing and with what the uninitiated may hear as
just plain noise is an experiment in, for one thing, tolerance;
tolerance of the ears, of the brain and the psyche. Well, that’s the
gist of the new CD by Phog Masheen, which is basically the project of
Mark Soden, Jr., the “mastermind” who wrote it all and recorded it up
in the best place on earth – the Bay Area – San Francisco, to be exact;
at Gench Studios in the city.
It's not clear to me this should be considered classical music even by my permissive standards, but the machine gun intensity is delightful. Others would say it is a trumpet-derived barrage of formless noise but they would be wrong. And the composer mentions Jules Verne. MP3 here.
