excerpt
about
This 21 minute piece was created by feeding the raw computer data of exe files, bland mass - market digital porn and transcripts of instant message arguments into a sound editor.
The outcome is a ferocious explosion of entertaining rhythmical sound. Brutal.
reviews
"Hot on the heels of last weeks review of their full length album, there is now a new release on CDR format by The Domestic Front, a.k.a. Thomas Transparent, from Chicago and itís something of a small conceptual album here. Transparent fed all sorts of data files from his computer - which were all but sound related - into a wave editor and created music out of that. You could try this at home too, but you will see it is easier done than said. Much of the data will be just noise.
The Domestic Front is not afraid of noise, but he knows how to carve some interesting music out of these files, or perhaps many hours of careful throwing away, and looping the interesting bits around. It is throughout noisier than 'Having Achieved Balance' from last week, even linked to Chefkirkís work, but throughout I was more convinced about this one than many of Chefkirk rhythm ín noise excursions."
