Vital Weekly Email update / review

'Beneath', which is one piece of almost forty-seven minutes build, it seems, from a single field recording, treated and/or mixed. It sounds like a recording under a bridge with cars passing, but then in very regular intervals, so who knows: this might not be the case, and this is an utter minimal treatment of some loop of something similar. Maybe its all a highly conceptual recording? Its surely all quite captivating!
I was thinking of the 'below the highway' concept because of the title of the release.

Marax is a one-man project from the American South primarily associated with the "black" end of noise. Beneath, however, is a subtle, refined experiment in timbre. It clearly evokes the sound of traffic swiftly passing beneath a concrete overpass on some well-paved highway. The tarmac may be wet. Or it may just sound that way. He could very well have extracted the sound from any number of sources under the clear, powder-blue sky gracing the cover.
Over the course of more than three-quarters of an hour, Marax treats the recording to achieve a hollow, tinny sound, the regular zooms heard as if through a length of aluminum piping, as it were. Sometimes they come fast and furiously enough to resemble the metallic clashes of a sword fight. Constantly hovering above is a cluster of singing, humming notes, like hydroelectrical wire tensing against a cold wind. And though it may sound contradictory, the effect is spellbinding.
