“Mainly acoustic, it seems, with some help of electronics, but then very loud indeed. A heavy meal.”
This piece starts out very soft, stops for some time, continuous for even longer and repeats that a couple of times, but growing immensely on the volume side of things. This is mostly a work for amplified cello. Up to the minute 22 this is quite alright, but beyond that the sound gets oppressive and loud, very heavy on the low end of things, which makes your house rumble like a madman. In the final ten minutes (32-42) this is even more emphasized and maybe it's here we have the screamers. It sounds like it at least. It's one hellish work, a decent straight into the underworld of death. It's noise for sure, but then a most atypical one. Mainly acoustic, it seems, with some help of electronics, but then very loud indeed. A heavy meal.
