> Brendan Walls - Cassia Fistula CD (idea 2005)
> An out-of-nowhere release from an intriguing
> one-man studio project, "Cassia Fistula" is Sydney
> based Brendan Walls' debut solo outing. Utilizing
> prepared and found sound objects- Brendan uses
> homemade machines to create this music without
> the use of  digital technology or effects processing.
> Walls has invented a concentrated, enveloping and
> transcendent electroacoustic sound palette.
> "Cassia Fistula" comprises of three distinctive
> tonal explorations that are truly hallucinatory.
> Tumultuous and shifting yet gargantuan and
> immovable, these works create a state where
> movement and stasis co-exist. Unfolding the
> monumental within the intimate, the results are
> beautiful, surrealist, organic blocks of sound.
> A man to watch. CD in miniature gatefold jacket.
> Design by Tina Frank & Judith Scheikl

> "Cassia Fistula recalls Rafael toral's most recent work in it's
explorations of
> fragile tonalities freefalling like atomized particles..."

> BRENDAN WALLS - CASSIA FISTULA (CD by Idea Records)
> Sydney-based Walls releases his debut solo disc Cassia Fistula, a
> work of electro-static energy and vibrance. The disc is split into
> three sections, raging with stealth, soaring noise frequencies.
> Drawing from high pitch tones and angular drones, this newcomer is
> working with Oren Ambarchi (Ritornell, Staubgold) whose minimal
> compositions and collaboration work are evident on the mix work in
> sections one and three. Working with defective hi-fi equipment and
> homemade electronic devices, Walls has developed a trip-like
> exploration of deep, organic (cassia fistula - a 10 meter tree)
> sound-sphere, not for the passive listener. This is not for
> relaxation, this is not click/cut/glitch, this is not dark ambient.
> This is discovery, almost improvised, in unfolding beauty, its nature
> warns of the dark side of the power behind its ornamental exterior.

> ANGBASE:

> While some are stylists or number crunchers, and some use a computer to
achieve
> a salon-like efficiency, Brendan just cuts hair. And while he might have a
pink
> tank top on or a particular fixation on flowers (the Cassia Fistula being
both
> his email, label name, and name of his first-born), he really is a barber
> through and through. And next time, I'll go to him, and have him hone down
on
> my head, buffing it into a milky pearl of skull, the hair a puddle below.
