`B°Tong is Chris Sigdell, a third of the Níd-collective. His solo-project is an electric journey through the body of positive negative vibes. Like scuba diving in a bottomless pit, or drifting in a sea of corrupted noise. B°Tong creates sounds that give birth to images of darkness and disease. Awaken the inner demon! B°Tong feeds on the dark force of the universe. It's world is in constant corrosion, it's sound flies in and out of the ear, sinks into oblivion and rises to painful pitch. The message is DESTROY! The music, the industry, everything! And as long as there is electricity there is creativity. Smile and enjoy.´ | |
B°Tong is the solo project of Chris Sigdell, who is a member of Nid (see Vital Weekly 460). Between january and april of this year he made this release 'using lap-top, natural sounds and recorded samples'. It's hard to say what kind of natural sounds he has taped, since they are transformed quite beyond the original source. The fact that a laptop is at work here is not hidden, but the colllision of sounds and technology works quite nice here, except in 'Waves To The Shore (Riptide)', which is a very freaky piece of rhythm and noise, which doesn't work very well. But the other tracks are, in all their more upfront microsound, quite nice. by frans de waard @ vital weekly | ||
