Kim Cascone + Scanner: The Crystaline Adress CD
In the 1980's, after moving to San Francisco and gaining experience as an
audio technician, Cascone worked with David Lynch as Assistant Music
Editor on both "Twin Peaks" and "Wild at Heart". Cascone left the film
industry in 1991 to concentrate on Silent Records, a label that he founded
in 1986, transforming it into the U.S.'s premiere electronic music label.
Scanner's diverse body of work includes soundtracks for films,
performances, radio, and site-specific intermedia installations. He has
performed in and created works for many art spaces, including San
Francisco MOMA (USA), Hayward Gallery (London), Pompidou Centre (Paris),
the Modern Museum (Stockholm) and Tate Modern (London), where Scanner and
Kim Cascone played together (on 21 September). As to be expected, knowing
the previous music of both electronic masters, the "Crystaline Adress" is
no random improvisation or remix album, but the result of an intention, a
well-though out idea: a circular collaboration involving the extended
exchange and development of material between the exponents until a
mutuality agreed point of conclusion was reached. Both pieces ("Behavioral
Sink" and "Atavistic Endeavor") with a playing time over 20 minutes, are
in the vein of the best clicks and cuts pieces, reminding of the work by
Oval and Fennesz. Refined, intelligent electronic sound compostions fried
to perfection. Another highlight on Sub Rosa.
