Oren
Ambarchi & Martin Ng - Vigil
"Vigil" is the second duo album by Australian composers Oren Ambarchi
and Martin Ng from Sydney after 2001's "Reconnaissance" on the Staubgold
label. It's a dreamlike sonic excursion based upon the fluid architectural modulation
of harmonics and resonances. Recalling the landmark experiments of the Sonic
Arts Union (Robert Ashley, David Behrman, Alvin Lucier and Gordon Mumma), Ambarchi
and Ng create an enigmatic tapestry of pulsing, shimmering and shifting sound
which represents a subtle and compelling realignment of Eastern and Western minimalist
traditions.
Austrian designer Tina Frank of
Mego has added two short films in MPEG format to this release
which in its slow and subtle moves match perfectly with
the fragile beauty of Ambarchi's and Ng's music. Martin
Ng whose main instrument is the turntable is another outstanding
character in Sydney's rich experimental music circuit.
He released an album for the MEGO label with FARMER'S MANUAL's
Hiaz Gmachl, recorded for GROB with JIM DENLEY and was
part of 2002's "TURNTABLE HELL" tour with among
others Otomo Yoshihide and Martin Tetrault.
