reviews:
Vital Weekly: EDWARD KA-SPEL - DEVASCAPES (cassette by Plinkity
Plonk)
Making music for tapes... will it start again? The tape-scene
was huge and international with a lot of collaborations and compilation
worldwide. Edward Ka-Spel was so exciting, Frans de Waard told
me, about the The Year 25 - 25 Years Of Korm Plastics tape, that
he decided to create a new tape. The result is released at Plinkity
Plonk and distributed by Korm Plastics. He recorded six tracks
with the title Devascape. Edward Ka-Spel used many soundsources
like digital and analog synthesizers, broken zither, radio and
devices. What I really like about this tape that it has the atmosphere
of the period of tape-scene, but is sounds fresh, noisy, doomy
and experimental. The tape starts with spacy synthesizersources,
dark sounds and develop slowly. Tones and sounds are passing
by. Edward Ka-Spel explores his soundpallett in a wide way. Slowly
the sounds become more concrete and the sound of a rutting cat
integrates in digital sounds with a pulsing rhythms, which reminds
me to sounds of Pink Floyd (Into the Machine) and Tangerine Dream.
But the tape develops more abstract and noisy in a meditative
mood. Side b starts spacy and develops more noisy to dark atmospheres
and thrilling melodies. The tape ends in concrete sounds with
loops of voices and fire-cracking. This release is great, because
of his variety of sounds and how all these sounds are mixed into
an abstract collage. How many tapes will follow of the contributors
of the 25th anniversary cassette?? I hope a lot... (JKH)
