Boomkat product review for:

field rotation - Why Things Are Different

Concluding the Hibernate label's run of 3" CD-R releases, German artist Field Rotation (aka Christopher Berg) presents a three-part, twenty-minute suite comprised of acoustic instruments, field recordings and electronic processing. The Hibernate label has become a go-to resource for music of this ilk, and Why Things Are Different provides a fitting elegy for one of the label's sub-strands. Introducing this short-form triptych, 'When The Clouds Clear' hovers with an air of warmth that suggests a brass sound source; rich, horn-like tones extend across the piece before a more brittle, digital sound begins to strobe across the stereo field, lending a slightly psychedelic tremolo effect. Second piece 'Never Build A Bridge Into Nothingness' arrives swathed in jets of hiss, before coarse distorted passages swoop in - much in the vein of Fennesz or Tim Hecker. Occupying a vast frequency range, set closer 'Sleepless' hovers magisterially over nine-and-a-half minutes, booming with sub-bass presence and a strange, almost inert minor key sensibility. It's a huge, drifting slab of sound that finds Berg in fine voice, fashioning something comparable to the discerning drone sculptures of Celer.
