Then came a long overdue purchase – the triple CD by super minimalist Phill Niblock. Four hours of single instrument drones, beautifully Touch style packed. This is going to be one of those record I will listen to very rarely, but when I do, it will be very rewarding. I never knew Phill Niblock until this record appeared on The Wire’s top 50 in 2006, but since then I keep noticing reference to him and his work. Hope that within long I will have time to sit down for four hours and just listen. | ” |
The avant-garde composer Phill Niblock edits together recordings of acoustic instruments to produce continuous tones that are gradually altered by both naturally occurring and digitally produced microtones. The effect, when played at the high volume the composer recommends, can be monolithic, comforting, and awe-inspiring, sometimes simultaneously. TOUCH THREE contains nine works, from "Sethwork," performed on an acoustic guitar, to "Parker's Altered Mood," played on alto saxophone, which superimposes six decontextualized recordings of the classic Charlie Parker bebop jazz track "Parker's Mood" to create a unique, otherworldly collection of sounds.
