CONURE – INTRUSIVE

3″ CDr, https://innerdemonsrecords.bandcamp.com/

Mark Wilson, aka Conure aka (member of) 15 Degrees Below Zero aka (member of) Imperial Floral Assault Unit aka (member of) Rings Of Smoke Through The Trees is someone whose name is mentioned in Vital Weekly more often. Conure has always been the side of Mark where influences around him become audible. Never afraid to experiment, never afraid to research the edges of possibilities, never afraid to be loud and always sincere to the emotional feedback of sounds. With this emotional feedback, I mean improvising on an emotional level to the sounds he is creating at that moment. Therefore his output can be close to HNW at moments but also restricted towards minimal frequency feedback loops.

“Intrusive” is another 3″ CDR, and it contains 18 minutes of something which I’d label as a noisescape. It goes deep, but it’s got too much variation to be labelled drone. It is really descriptive, but it’s too noisy to be called a soundscape. So it has all the elements we like, and Mark just bends it into one beautiful thing. As for the title, that might be the recurring feedback frequencies that are in the composition. Here and there, there is a little sound I don’t get, but it might well be the result of this being an improvisational piece or one-take recording. Very well done.
