| Description | : OSSOSNOSSOS OSSO 1, 2003; AND YET ANOTHER FRUIT OF THE CURRENT HYPERACTIVITY OF ANDREW MCKENZIE. THE MOST REFINED EXPERIMENTAL COMPOSITION IN A RECORD THAT CALMLY REVEALS SECRETS. FRAGILE HARMONIC TEXTURES AND SUBLIMINAL PULSES LAYERED ON CONSTANT BACKGROUND NOISE. THIS IS THE MUSIC OF TENSION WHICH IS NEVER TOO EXPLICIT. A SHAMANISTIC MCKENZIE SUMMONING THE ALCHEMISTIC PROPERTIES OF SOUND: A VARIATION OF THE CONCEPT OF THE DREAM MACHINE, THROUGH THE VOICE OF ITS OWN CREATOR, BRION GYSIN. FOUNDED IN 1980 IN THE UK BY ANDREW MCKENZIE AND THE EX CABARET VOLTAIRE CHRIS WATSON, THE HAFLER TRIO CREATED AN IMMENSE WORK IN SOUND, LITERATURE AND PERFORMANCE. THE DISCOGRAPHY OF THIS ENIGMATIC PROJECT, MOST LIKELY ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENT AND ACKNOWLEDGED IN THE PAST 20 YEARS OF EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC, EXCEEDS MORE THAN 30 EDITIONS THROGH SEVERAL LABELS. IN THIS COURSE, LITTLE AS CHANGED IN MCKENZIE'S INTENTIONS, THE ONLY PROJECT MEMBER SINCE 1984. IN MOST CASES, ONLY THE EXECUTION AND THE EXPLANATION METHODS HAVE CHANGED. HIS HIGHLY CONCEPTUAL APPROACH HAS A LOT MORE OF SCULPTURE THAN COMPOSITION. SOUNDWRITER, NOT SONGWRITER. [JORGE MANTAS] |
