Normandeau, Robert – “Figures ” – [Empreintes Digitales]

Thurston Hunger   9/4/2005   A Library, CD

Normandeau Fr. Canadian brainiac, sound
academon purveyor of “acousmatics”
(huh, is that electro-psycho-acoutics?)
You end up here with involved tape
collage, plenty of headphonery…and
enough sound to fill your ears and
overflow into your eyes. I like the
attention deficit disorder which propels
these tracks, Normandeau’s never content
to linger with one warped sound for too
long. Liner notes figure importantly…
he’s a protege of “Frankenstein” Dhomont
#3 is the most peaceful, mind the quiet
bits.
