Going through my stash of stuff I had to review but didn’t have a chance yet, I stumbled upon the final ones of the last physical batch of Inner Demons Records. As that was a HUGE batch (30+ releases at once), I don’t feel too bad about not being able to have done it, though I feel bad about having missed them on a musical level. IDR has that power always to surprise me in a way. Releasing unknown artists that are a standout, or better known artists that somehow found the opportunity to experiment in a way you hadn’t noticed before. MCHK is an artist in the first category.
MCHK is a collaborative project between Manuel Carbone, an Italian sound artist living in Berlin. He has an abstract approach to composition using manipulating field recording, the sound of found objects, and he’s taking it from there. The other person in the project is Hendekagon, a.k.a. Signalstörung. Based in Leipzig – and co-founder of the Global Noise Movement and Adventurous Music – he explores the relativeness of beauty.
Manuel and Ro are producing an intense dronescape with a central role for a layer of noise, making you glad earplugs were invented. At the same moment, a layer of luscious synth sounds emphasises that there were still frequency bands open and should be used. Twenty minutes is way too short for a production like this. But both artists have several releases and sounds available on Ro’s Adventurous Music Bandcamp, so I will also include a link. In case you feel like exploring too. Like I do 😉
