Christoph Heemann & Andrew Chalk - Mirror Of The Sea (Robot Records, 2000)

A Mirror Of The Sea Pt. 1 (19:20)
B Mirror Of The Sea Pt. 2 (20:41)

Quand le duo Mirror décide de sortir un disque sous leur vrai nom à l'occasion de concerts donnés à Austin en 2000, cloches, gongs, drones de guitare, field recordings...

Andrew Chalk and Christoph Heemann have been collaborating extensively as Mirror over the past year, so it seems odd that the two of them have suddenly decided to release an album under their given names. It would make sense if they deviated from their work as Mirror. The source material for this album, bowed bells, gongs, and distant guitar drones, differs, and while the overall beauty and concept reveal a definite Mirror-like desire to capture an elusive spirutual voice through the resonance of drones. Extended organ chords, gentle creaking of an old wooden floors, and long reverberations of breathy flutes make for a more baroque tonal quality than the typicalChalk / Heemann sound. "The Mirror Of The Sea" is a beautiful picture disc with drawings by Andrew Chalk on each side. Of course, it's recommended.

Les quatres premiers morceaux sont des rééditions des cassettes Crescent et Harvest... Drones de guitare tout en profondeur....

It's great to find that Mr. Chalk is capable of such beauty as this. I'm very used to him in his Mirror projects, most of which have a (pleasantly) dark and sombre character. This album, however, takes his guitar work to a different plane. The tracks are suffused with a mellow depth and character, peppered with rustlings and cast in a cool blue light. I'm somewhat reminded of The Pearl, although they're horses of entirely different colors. I think it's in how this music frames a definite space and time yet without any context or purpose thereof. It's all very soothing and lucid. There were a good number of copies of this disc to be found when I grabbed mine, but I haven't seen many since.
