& Tim Hill
Beech For John And Miho
Seal Pool Records
Available through the Helen Scarsdale Agency: $16.00
The motion of light on water. Now, theres
an apt metaphor to the subtle and sublime actions of a
perfectly rendered drone; and thats exactly how
the perenially excellent British sound-sculptor Jonathan
Coleclough describes his work. Originally commissioned
for a private wedding compilation that featued Joe Weismann,
If Thousands, Jliat, and Space Machine, Colecloughs
2003 collaboration with saxophonist Tim Hill entitled
Beech For John And Miho is an album that typifies
this pithy statement. Very little actually happens within
the full 74 minutes of the album; there is but one sound
of a conglomeration from tightly vibrating digital pixels,
time-stretched sound fields, and synthetic reverberations.
In turn, there is a stately procession from the harmonic
undercurrents, that ebb and flow with all of the majesties
of the oceans. One could assume that Coleclough has appropriated
something that Tim Hill played on the saxophone. I must
admit that I have absolutely no patience for the saxophone
and was a bit put off by Colecloughs choice of collaborator.
Fortunately, Coleclough has proven me wrong and conjured
an impressive album. |
