On a completely banal note, i'd like to recommend Robert Lippok's new CD on
raster-noton. It's an EP, really - just three tracks, clocking in at 20
minutes total. What's different about this disc - in a month in which I'm
beginning to tire of somewhat samey click-rhythms - is the interplay between
delicate skip-rhythms and much more melodic content. Track 2 pairs a sort
of broken-glass shortwave effect with almost maudlin strings of the Arvo
Pärt variety. It's not an agressive, or a difficult, or a groundbreaking
piece; just really pretty.
