Make Noise

Review: The master of minimal noise returns! Following up the excellent Forse series on Important Records and last year's tremendous Risveglio on Hospital Productions, Alessandro Cortini returns with Spie LP on Make Noise, which follows up some great releases by the likes Keith Fullerton Whitman and Richard Devine. After all; they did all create their compositions on the same Make Noise Shared System modular synthesizer didn't they! Described by Cortini as "a gorgeous sunrise over a decimated landscape" these two long form drone journeys are just as hypnotic and all-consuming as his previous efforts but have much more of an edge and sense of aggressiveness as opposed to his MC-202 experiments on previous efforts. Fans will not be disappointed.

Review: Brett Naucke has previously produced wonderful albums of expressive synthesiser music for Umor Rex, Spectrum Spools, Hausu Mountain and more. His latest opus appears on Make Noise, presumably channeling some of the modular manufacturer's inventive devices through his own working practices to come up with this vibrant and varied EP. From the regal melodic cascade of "Memory Screen" to the crunchy electronica of "Pulse Reader", Naucke sounds like he's having fun and creating some stunning pieces in the process. Look out for the beautiful ambient lilt of "Stolen Dreamtime", a clear highlight on a record full of gems.
