MNortham - Molt And Anecdote (S'Agita Recordings, 2003)

1 Molt (14:37)
2 And (14:24)
3 Anecdote (20:25)

Whilst 'A Great And Riverless Ocean' was composed in Portland, Oregon in the summer of 2002, the CDR 'Molt And Anecdote' was made in the same period in Port Townsend, Washington. It has three tracks 'Molt', 'And' and 'Anecdote', so they are probably linked together. 'Molt' sounded much to my suprise like computer processed sounds, branches or leaves being fed through some effects. A bit like the more recent works of John Hudak. The second track 'And' is again
unlike MNortham, it has the usual drone stuff, but it sort of ends a bit rhythmical and errmm musical. 'Anecdote' finally, the longest of the three, features again, the usual Mnortham processed environmental sounds, but are, again a new feature, presented here in a more
collage way, with abrupt fades and changes. Three times new, or rather, kinda new Mnortham elements, makes this into a remarkable disc.
