Approved: Black Meteoric Star (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 22 June 2009
Black Meteoric Star is the solo project of Gavin Russom, one half of DFA’s in-house ambient creators Delia And Gavin, a duo that dug deep into the sounds of Brian Eno and Steve Reich, contemporary composers that are undercut in this project for more traditional techno and acid house tools. On ‘Death Tunnel’, for example, an endless line of synth arpeggios pulse over an (over?) familiar beat, while the overall sound is notably distorted with a slight hiss is the background that is off kilter from the perfected, unnatural sound of other electronic recordings. Of course, it’s a process that’s familiar and a result that could reel off a thousand comparisons, but this is Russom throwing his hat into the ring and the result is undeniably interesting.
