"The Science of Breath" by Polmo Polpo - fantastic CD from the sound to the
packaging
the sounds of *heavy* pressurization
nice review of it at Forced Exposure
"Toronto producer Sandro Perri, a.k.a. Polmo Polpo, who blends deep, murky
techno with rich layers of feedback and densely orchestrated melodies.
Trying to describe the sound of Polmo Polpo is not an easy task. The
marriage of deep rhythms with shifting waves of melody and sometimes brutal
white noise is certainly not a commonly used formula. This music is beyond
catchy, the sound of the slide guitar shifting in and out of Gas-style
minimalism gives the music a driving force that so much of the genre lacks.
Over the last few years Polmo Polpo has released four separate 12" EPs on
his own imprint Audi Sesna, all of which have gone on to sell out overseas
rather quickly. The Science of Breath includes four beat-based tracks from
the latest two of these EPs, as well as four new shorter tracks that bring
the entire record together, and tread the grounds of sound sculptors like
Fennesz and Tim Hecker. This comparison is made mainly on the basis of
natural and processed guitar sounds interspersed amongst ambient movements,
giving one the feeling of exploring the ocean floor inside a pressurized
echo chamber. Heavily layered cello and lap steel guitar combine their
colours to create a world of ghostly shadows immersed in the throbbing
pulse of 'dance music'."
