It\u2019s a process that Brooklyn-based Billy Gomberg has inhabited before with releases on such labels as Experimedia, and\/OAR, and The Land Of.  Here, with synthesizers and custom digital processing, Gomberg arrives at a complex album of shifting tones, kaleidoscopic hues, and crackling debris that flows with a clear, exacting vision.<\/p>\n<p>Though wholly electronic in execution, <em>Quiet Barrier<\/em> is not designed, sequenced, or digitally overwrought.  It is music that is played and constructed in real-time, relying on a moment to moment interaction between musician and instrument.  Such an approach explains in part why <em>Quiet Barrier<\/em> unfolds with an unmitigated motion, propelling itself forward in a linear manner.  The outcome, like any good narrative, is a sound that can\u2019t be rushed or interrupted, only followed and absorbed.  \u2018Quiet Barrier\u2019 follows the 2009 collaboration with Offthesky, <em>Flyover Sound<\/em>, which was nominated for the Paris-based Qwartz electronic music award in Experimentation and Research.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><object height=\"81\" width=\"100%\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/player.soundcloud.com\/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F14004495&#038;show_comments=true&#038;color=0077af\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><span><a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/rest-noise-1\/billy-gomberg-partial-to\">Billy Gomberg &#8211; Partial to Appearance<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/rest-noise-1\">Rest + Noise<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/fraufraulein.com\/mp3\/billy\/quiet_barrier\/QB_crop1web.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>get yr feet wet with this preview of my upcoming CD Quiet Barrier, on Rest + Noise: The formation of a different language takes place on Quiet Barrier: flickering rhythms, receding walls of electronic sound, and warped melodic figures occupy the space where words and terminology once stood.
