| The "Sound of the
Planets" is a piece Minimal Impact has been working on for
quite a while, I know. Using soundfiles downloaded from the NASA and
European Space Agency web sites he has re-formed them into the type of
sound we've come to know and accept, if not love. Minimal Impact
himself started the backing tracks of planetary hiss and drones and
effects, while adding subtle washes of slide guitar. After about five
minutes he was joined by Hot Roddy on radio and computer
textures, he was then replaced in turn by Derek from Komuso
on an old SH101 synth providing the sound of the empty wind of space, Geoff
from kapzloq on Casio 50s style space sounds and clanger
noises, and finally Tony Rimbaud on treated bird and animal
noises, then for an all too brief 5 minutes at the end of the set,
Minimal Impact left the stage for a crafty smoke while the guests
joined together over the unrolling backing tracks. A very interesting
collaboration inspiring the kind of dreamstate I love that seems
peculiar Steve's work. |
