\nAugust 2007 \u2022 Test Tube netlabel<\/p>\n
Climate<\/em> is a collection of four tracks that just gave me a humid, thick weather feel, laments for a more perfect ecosystem (or maybe the sounds of a future one). Taken from improvisations heavy on drones and simple melodic figures, the sound ended up a bit filthy and worn, the software element interrupting, looping and stretching the analog tones, with percussion like rain and other objects falling onto the surface of the sound.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.monocromatica.com\/netlabel\/releases\/tube086.htm<\/a> \t\u00abTwo years ago, on August 29\/30, hurricane Katrina hit hard on the greater New Orleans area, causing death and destruction as she passed and dissipated a few days after. Considered by weather analysts as the 3rd greatest hurricane in American history, Katrina was also considered by many as the probable result of men’s relentless and irrational harm on our planet. Not that hurricanes never happened before, but they are growing stronger and more destructive in recent years, as temperatures rise and ice melts in the northern hemisphere. This is not new.<\/p>\n \tA sad story like this one could be told by Climate<\/em>, an electroacoustic work authored by New York resident and sound designer Billy Gomberg. On Climate<\/em>, Billy manipulates feedback sinewaves and folds them around sparse notes generated by his electronic apparatus. Sometimes they are dark, obscure and sad non-musical pieces, and sometimes they sound ethereal, musical, almost lyrical pieces on the verge of emotional collapse, like the ‘lower ninth ward’ was, as portrayed on the cover artwork, after the passing of Katrina. Climate<\/em> is all this and more for you to delve in and discover. Billy has released before on Standard Klik Music, 12\/term. and other places. He will return shortly after this release with a collaborative work entitled Country at the River of Friendship<\/em> with Anne Guthrie.
