Zound Delta 2
Boomkat Product Review:
One of the final works composed by the late, great Phill Niblock, for Anna Clementi and Thomas Stern, arrives as posthumous release and farewell from the iconic C.20th visionary
Phill Niblock (1933-2024, USA) was a multimedia adventurer whose work underlines and links myriad avant-garde movements between the mid-century and modern day. While perhaps best known as composer of intense slabs of instrumental drone, on ‘Zounds Delta 2’ Niblock commands Anna Clementi’s voice, and the strings and electronics of Thomas Stern, in a haunting phantasmic flux that evinces the best from Clementi’s extended tekkerz and Stern’s deep engineering nous, as heard in his decades of live sound engineering for Einstürzende Neubauten, and work with everyone from Swans to Faust’s Hans Joachim Irmler.
‘Zounds Delta 2’ appears in two subtly contrasting mixes that both adhere to Niblock’s focussed sense of chronics and feel for layered, psychoactive, microtonal arrangement. The original pitches Clementi projecting subvocalisations like a Bene Gesserit against sloshing textures. The vocals are finely layered in multi-tracked microtonal harmony with a deeply trippy, unyielding cadence that stealthily rises to a dense fever dream swell of wraithlike cacophony handout into buzz like bees drunk on fermented honey, or swarm of rotored drones. By contrast the alternative version is far more soothing, with Clementi initially appearing to call, siren-like like from a rock in calmer, but still deep, seas. The vocals proceed to feel more tormented, swerving the quiet/loud dynamic for a through-line of tension or deferred gratification that keeps us rapt in a different way.
