about

Dave Procter (UK/SE) is a busy travelling and touring musician, often dropping by Claus Poulsen’s Studio Skrat in Copenhagen, which inevitably leads to the two making music together. The duo concentrates on long form noisedrone, using laptops to manipulate field recordings, pedals, Casio SK-1 keyboard, tapes, vinyl, amplified objects and feedback. They play one concert and make one release every year.

“Parallel Perspectives” was recorded on January 20th 2020 in Copenhagen. The single track on the album is an extension of Procter’s Fibonacci Drone Organ minimalistic project, but with Poulsen adding overdubs. With his different perspective, he quickly forgets the minimalistic nature of the piece and details it with waves of half speed vinyl and samples. The resultant audio has turned out to be a very satisfying process and conclusion to this collaboration.

A limited edition CD (20 copies) will be released on the same date as the digital download.

For your information - 70kr/SEK is around £6 or €7.

PROCTER & POULSEN - PARALLEL PERSPECTIVES (CDR by Ojud Records)

Given whatever I know from the work of Dave Procter and Claus Poulsen, I expected some harsh noise collaboration. I know Poulsen operates in many sub-genres from the world of noise, ambient, electronics and improvisation, but Procter I only know from his noise project Legion Of Swine, which he performs on stage with a pig’s mask. In January 2020 Procter visited Poulsen in his Studio Skrat and brought relatively low stuff and couple with Poulsen's instruments in similar style; a Casio SK1 (the lowest form of sampling), tapes, vinyl, amplified objects, pedals, feedback and laptops to manipulate field recordings. The result is a single piece, lasting fifty-three minutes and there is very little noise to be spotted here; far from actually. These tones just wander about, slowly and majestically. It starts with more ubiquitous drones on the organ and vinyl crackles but slowly unfolds in a richer pattern of treated cymbal sounds, spacious drones, more crackles and seems to be getting the addition of guitar drones and in the second half unfolds a more ended playing between the two, with the drones now in a cascading form, coming and going like waves upon a shore. The vinyl crackles remain a thing throughout here, but they are used with such fine sparseness that it doesn't get into the way of the rest of the music. A constant change, both within instruments and sounds used, remains part of these excellent pieces. I zoned and droned out on this, sitting, flipping through pages, looking for mistakes, as part of something else. I didn't notice that it was on repeat and I must have played this 3 or 4 times in a row the first afternoon I got this. (FdW)
