Matthew Revert, Vanessa Rossetto

Uncertainties for uncertainty, as steadfast as the Pillars of Hercules, Everyone Needs a Plan glides and crackles. As canny and crafty as ever, Matthew Revert and Vanessa Rossetto move through — move through what? No, they push through, emerge from, insinuate into contingencies. Contingencies link hands with compositions, with foundling sounds, static, and babble. The skin of atmosphere is stretched taut and made permeable to all species of sound: a moan, a pluck, a bowed string, a refrigerator drone, words spoken softly and words spoken gruffly. I have a hard time discriminating what belongs to them and what leaks in through the worn padding of my headphones. I slam the button at the crosswalk and hear its metal click in my head; the little man trapped in the button says, Wait. - tinymixtapes
