Good company in Tristan Bath’s Spool’s Out column at The Quietus:<\/p>\n

In comparison, Brooklynite sound artist Billy Gomberg\u2019s offering on Transition<\/i> is a relatively peaceful affair. Deeper listening reveals layers of hidden meaning, and in my own case, no small amount of terror. This is incredibly abstract music though, and one wonders how much the translucent, vaporous meaning is in the ear of the beholder. The single piece on side A seems at first to blend together various field recordings to create a strange new, third location. Distant industrial clatter or public transport noises soon turn out to be Gomberg\u2019s own tones summoned from goodness knows where, and the collage then segues from place to place as it travels onwards. The two shorter pieces on side B are no less mysterious. Whether the overall effect is peaceful of terrifying is perhaps up to you to decide – either way it\u2019s an absorbing trip to take.<\/p>\n
