Weirdness can lead to mind games, but a proper amount of wine or whiskey might also obscure the thinking process. Any primary thought might lead to answers to questions you didn’t know would have the answer you just came up with. Why did he roll his eyes at the neighbour’s goat? Is what’s in the hand not a lie? Or can it still be? Dadaist noise with loads of fun and intense moments by Iah from Băicoi, Romania. He is also known as Ia-HA-Crax but being honest, I had never heard of him (or her or them) before.
The 5-inch “Cimilituri (Cine is urechi de auzit sa asurzeasca)” released by Inner Demons will keep your mind occupied for over an hour. The title translates to “Riddle (He who has ears to hear will be deafened),” and while there are some quite deafening moments on this album, it has a lot of atmospheric, not too intrusive tracks. It sounds a bit like little noise makers, effects, maybe some modules, some acoustic instruments, but basically, it sounds like fun times.
Most tracks are some kind of evolving things, a minimal base that’s generative with other sounds or manipulations. And because of this method – which I, by the way, really appreciate – it just goes on and on. I played the album several times, and for me, the best moment was during a car drive where the evolution of sounds somehow merged with the variations of landscape and cityscapes. Sometimes there are trees, occasionally wide open fields with cows, a few villages left and right and a highway carefully directing the traffic away from the city. Yet still, the concrete skyline cuts through the line of trees.
I’m looking forward to listening more often on different systems, at different volumes and in different situations. This album seems to adapt itself to the environment. How? I don’t know … That’s maybe the riddle …
