Soundcheck Reviewby Phil England in The Wire #197 (UK), July 1, 2000 |1292| On his third solo album The Death Of Analogies, Christof Migone updates the fast edit, low tech musique concrète he developed in his works for campus radio CKUTF FM in Montréal Migone delights in audio detritus — the kind of entrails others leave on the cutting room floor In its intimacy, his debut Hole In The Head was reminiscent of Adam Bohman’s home dictaphone recordings in the way it featured his own voice or body sounds, the voices of callers to his radio show, and sounds from domestic life Death uses much the same sources as Hole but strips them of any character that might identify them, somewhat blunting his idiosyncratic edge and pushing him towards the overpopulated area of electroacoustic music If he has subjected his latest sonic miniatures to greater computer intervention, they nevertheless retain the dirty, visceral quality of his earlier album: glitch done ugly The slightly longer explorations of a new suite called Post Mortems nudge his work closer towards musical forms, despite its patina of vinyl surface noise. electrocd.com Christof Migone: The Death of Analogies: reviews |
