| YANN NOVAK - IN RESIDENCE "Novak creates a sense of distance by abstracting his source materials beyond recognition - whatever is going in is obscure, and far away. Hence the vague, rotorblading, respiratory effects of the first of these three tracks - the sound of systems ticking over, yet whose undulating motions are curiously involving." –David Stubbs, The Wire(UK) "Novak is without doubt, a minimalist, and most of his work interlocks at a deeply cerebral level that is unique, but not alien, and is always assuredly calm, and subtly and expertly understated." –Barry G Nichols, White_Line MANNING / NOVAK - PAIRINGS "In building up their music along sheets of many layers, Manning and Novak have uncovered a huge mountain of ambience. Lulling, tinkling and serene, "Pairings" lays out a course for the fans of hushed and suggested sound." –Tom Sekowski, gaz-eta/recenzje "... the luscious ambience is subtly overwritten with more exploratory techniques, and at the “sweet spot”, the interface of chaos and equilibrium, we are treated to some very special moments, that most likely blossomed free of human intervention." –Barry G Nichols, White_Line (UK) NOVAK / DROUIN - AUDITORIUM "...the gradual evolution of a natural-flowing drone that initially rubs the ears with low-frequency components, then starts to raise doubts while becoming slightly aggressive, only to finally placate in a mesmerizing continuum." –Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes |
