Gleaming Seams

Almost like clockwork, there are new releases by Fergus Kelly, from Dublin. One of his primary interests is the use of found metal and plastics, drums, cymbals and gongs. He adds to that "treated electromagnetic recordings of ATMs, computer drives, ticket dispensers and overhead tramlines". The result is always an interesting combination of field recordings and electro-acoustic improvisation and listening to the results it is not easy to say where one begins and the other stops. It is always the most interesting combination of the two. Some of this has been captured on a mobile phone and captures people talking in shops or the tram, but that, for me, only adds to the music.
