Best known for publishing visual arts like photographs for publications like TASCHEN, European Photography Magazine and Secret Magazine, Collin J. Rae creates an album of sonic projects that sound like something for the background for an art exhibit. Each of his compositions is a highly electronic, sonic and taped affair, conjuring effects and affects that at time are reminiscent of fluttering birds meeting with a landing craft (“Pandemiya”), a revving V8 engine for a ’57 Chevy (“Trapan”) or visitation from hovering flying saucers (“Heimsfaraldur”). His songs, all with various moods and degrees of electrical currents, are unified by the static pulse with a mix of white noise and a running tractor during “Jayiha” or sounds from an exhaust pipe for “Da Liuxing”. Think in terms of a milder, gentler read of Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music. Plugged in atmospheres.
