[003] Fescal ::: Endorphin 06/05/2010
Another update! Endorphin has been released on a wonderful mini netlabel from Germany called "1798" - a place of intriguing ambient music! Info about Endorphin... Dark meandering with a purpose, Fescals Endorphin is several bits and pieces of sound that range from the rich murkiness of "Hollow Spirit" and "Moon man" to the bright ethereal "Waltzing Nature" and everything in between. "13 Door Cinema" is full of textures, with sounds morphed into something resembling the crumpling and folding of clicks. Melodies and rhythms in the conventional sense are pretty much off limits, though "sheep Dip" does have a semi-steady cadence of sorts. More often, the result is similar to "Frozen Time" with no discernible beats or discrete notes. Rather, this is about complex floating music with unusual palpable, and palatable, textures. "Atlas Air" is typical of the dark tone that permeates the 7 tracks, though light does occasionally stream through on tracks such as "Moon Man" and "Waltzing Nature" Track titles are as diverse and puzzling as the fascinating musical journey itself - Enjoy! Please visit here: Fescal - Endorphin A note from 1798 "a note from 1798: "fescal strikes you with an eclectic mix of awesomly crafted hypnotic ambient music. this release consists of 34 minutes of pure ambient bliss coming right out of korea. catch your dose of endogenous opioid polypeptides!" - 1798 "The oeuvre of Fescal is an attempt of disproving the notion that instrumental music is by default incapable of delivering a message. Firmly rooted in deep ambient, atmospheric drones and darkly associative soundscapes, the project's first trio of releases doesn't require metaphorical spoken word contributions, pseudo-intellectual titles or liner notes to rise above the mere acoustic massage and „pure entertainment“ of most albums from the genre. Rather, the devil's in the detail, revealing itself through a glacially unfolding narrative" “Lethal Industry” is perhaps most tangible in this regard: Haunting choirs are chanting in the distance (The Harbour Master) and syrupy organ points are viscously flowing through clouds of hiss (Orichalcum), while mysterious processes are stirring underneath the lenses of Fescal's microscope. Tracks like "Moon Man", with its serene pulsation and breathing layers of metallic dust or "Atlas Air", a single complex tone sustained for six full minutes, are meanwhile turning “Endorphin” into a feast for lovers of the drone.
Most ambitious, however, is “Twin”, Fescal's latest work on pioneering German netlabel Tonatom: Glistening ambiances are interwoven with fantastical field recordings, all seemingly rotating around eight-and-a-half-minute „Sunday Morning“, which injects a dose of genial tranquilizers into an otherworldly vision of musique concrete and dreamy chimes - Many thanks to June 17th 2010, by Tobias Fischer This is a nice 8-track collection of probably loosely described ambient music. I think it would work really well around 3pm on a Sunny Saturday, and definitely with headphones. Fescal does a pretty good job of combining drone with just enough melody to make it work right. Overall, the release is consistent. There are two tracks stray a bit, notably Wayfaring Geography, having a darker feel and Aboon which has elements of field recording mixed in – to good effect, though - Eric Fescenmeyer Commentssuyeong 03/05/2010 10:47am
