Artist: MOGAMI [JEFF ARNAL/RYAN SMITH] Title: Mogami Label: Public Eyesore 80 Country: USA Format: CD Status: AVAILABLE $12.00
Description: Featuring Jeff Arnal on amplified percussion and Ryan Smith on computer. Jeff Arnal is one of my favorite local percussionists and I savor each of the dozen + discs he has on labels like Sachimay, Generate, Clean Feed, Leo & Creative Sources. This fine duo disc was released in 2004, but seemed to have fallen through the cracks. Glad we started doing business with Public Eyesore. I can't say that I am familiar with Ryan Smith, but he does come up with some fascinating sounds here. "Radio Telescope" opens and is the longest track. It features what sounds like samples of cymbals, slowly manipulated with a layer of electronic static. Amplified electric percussion perhaps? Slow moving, ever-haunting, drums and assorted percussion, being twisted into different odd shapes. Gunter Muller used to generate similar sounds when he had small mics taped to his cymbals. Slowly swirling layers of electronic and acoustic percussion and strange electronic sounds. What amazes me here is that the blend of acoustic percussion and electronic sounds works so well throughout this disc. Textures and timbres are often quite similar and it becomes difficult to tell these instruments apart. 52 minutes long and often breathtaking. - BLG
