RELEASE DATE
12/7/2010
2010 reissue. Originally released by Touch in 2001 (and on vinyl via Staubgold). Considered by the
Chicago Reader
to be "one of the most gifted and innovative guitarists of the decade,"
Rafael Toral
has developed a unique sound world, having been as influenced by
Alvin Lucier
and
Brian Eno
as by
Sonic Youth
and
My Bloody Valentine
. Using the guitar as part of a complex electronic instrument, Toral has collaborated with
Jim O'Rourke
,
John Zorn
, Sonic Youth,
Rhys Chatham
and
Phill Niblock
and played in many European countries. He's also a member of
MIMEO
, the electronic orchestra featuring
Keith Rowe
,
Christian Fennesz
,
Peter Rehberg
,
Kaffe Matthews
, and many others.
Violence Of Discovery And Calm Of Acceptance
is a collection of ten small pieces crafted by Toral with extreme precision and care through the last 7 years. Using guitars and analog technology, it can be described as Toral's best work, embodying all the directions he explored in his previous critically-acclaimed records,
Sound Mind Sound Body
,
Wave Field
and
Aeriola Frequency
but taking them into new dimensions. The highly evocative, intricate and subtle guitar drones are captured in the beautiful photography of
Heitor Alvelos
, a Portuguese artist, and in the artwork of
Jon Wozencroft
. The background noise on track 10 is a recording of silence during a Space Shuttle mission real-time webcast. All other sounds were made by electric guitars. The album was recorded between 1993 and 2000 and mastered at Noise Precision, Lisbon.
