Meursault, Pali – “Offset” – [Doubtful Sounds]

humana   5/19/2013   12-inch, A Library

There’s something oddly comforting about the sounds emanating from what I believe are printing presses (thus the album title “Offset” that compose these field recordings from Meursault. Granted, I love the printed page, but I’ll bet you a baby would nod off to this in no time flat. It made me appreciate the artistry of knowing what sounds would make for interesting listening. It also made me respect even more those artists (like Cactus) who create the sounds/noise they play from scratch. A whole new dimension opens!!!
