FAITICHE 027LP
|
As Jonathan Scherk's split album with Daniel Majer, It's Counterpart (FAITICHE 019LP, 2019), made abundantly clear, Jonathan Scherk is a master of his craft. Toon! immerses you in a highly distinctive world of plunderphonics-sampledelica-variations acousmatiques that's impossible to classify while feeling familiar nonetheless. Following a strict two-minute format, thirteen complex sound constructions offer a range of experiences -- as if the neurosciences had developed an acoustic formula capable of triggering illusions of memory. 13 tracks = 13 déjà-vus. When department stores dream ... epiphanies appear in elliptical rotations. Afterthoughts recalled on the beach as a child, soft-drawn and befuddling. Are they dreams? Are they metempsychotic leakage? With cup so full-brim, there's bound to be spillage. Toon! is sleeping on-your-feet, in the light. The pleasure must be more than belletristic, but what's left to say? Perhaps the sun is simply too bright. Includes download code.
