ROBERT MILLIS
Interior Music
Boomkat Product Review:
Filmmaker, author, "Guerilla ethnographer" and co-founder of Climax Golden Twins Robert Millis lands on Discrepant with a long-overdue solo voyage, combing discarded music boxes, instruments, containers and chambers for hidden sounds and resonances.
Inspired by Hindustani khayal traditions, and the way musicians would stretch out individual notes to explore their endless connotations, Millis was prompted to consider mishaps, anomalies, spaces and resonances. He's been using the phrase "interior music" for a few years, and combines his knowledge of Indian classical music with an appreciation of Steve Roden's detailed lowercase recordings (think 'Forms of Paper') and Pierre Schaeffer's concrète work. And while it's hard to know exactly what Millis is doing here - there's no inventory provided - the references make sense.
Millis' collage of synthesized beeps and dissociated movie samples on 'Mr Hammer How Dare You' sounds out of place at first, before it's drowned out by elongated harmonium-style resonances. And on 'Truncation (Ethnography)', oddly tuned flute sounds are strangled until only subsonic echoes remain and the fussy, breathy smacks take the spotlight. Similarly, 'Hikikomori' loses a dramatic orchestral performance in muffled, roomy resonances, and 'An Anthropology of Automatons' splits piano drones into twinkling, single note extensions.
