Philosopher\'s Stone | Aparatus
CD, Kranky/Konkurrent
Tekst: Ariën Rasmijn
Publicatiedatum: 05 februari 2001
For nine months, avantgarde musician Gareth Mitchell locked himself up in his home studio to record his second album under the name of Philosopher's Stone. He recorded, filtered and refiltered, edited and re-edited sounds from, mostly, his own guitar. It resulted in a collection of nine intense, harrowing tracks. I'll tell you now, I do not wish to know what actually went through this man's head while making this piece. It's that scary. The layers of textures swell ominously, shapeshift and create a wicked, thoroughly unsettling mood. Suddden attacks of sharp, hard-as-hell feedback knock the breath out of you. Once you hear something that sounds remotely familiar, like, for instance, a repeated, somewhat dubby low frequency, he totally turns it into an anomaly he then kills seconds later. You stay on your toes during the whole thing, wondering why you feel like you're in the middle of a nightmare and your heart is beating so fast. Another one for the books, ladies and gents. File under UM+ for Unpleasant yet fascinating - Mindfuck.
