Review:
Occlusions is a typically challenging, improvised take on electronic music from the far too prolific Keith Fullerton Whitman, marking another high note in the unassailable discography of Editions Mego. Both compositional pieces were recorded at festivals in Europe earlier this year (you can hear some Gallic chatter in the background) and allegedly were performed without the aid or consent of pre-recorded or even pre-arranged materials. Fullerton Whitman has attempted to avoid divisible rhythms throughout, and the results of the first composition are reminiscent of Actress's recent sound design set at the Tate Modern as part of the Yayoi Kusama installation. Uncompromising and engaging!
