The four tracks that compose Window In are an exercise in density, movement, and space. Raw studio recordings of electric guitar were taken as the foundation, then heavily altered and manipulated through sampling, erasing the trace back to origin of the sound. The result is a series of vignettes that are unattached to a particular source but instead exist in an emotive and internal state. · Listen: www.denovali.com/michaelvallera · Cd+LP: www.denovali.com/store · Download: www.denovali.com/digitalstore Vinyl · thick sleeves & thick printed inner sleeves, 180g vinyl, free download code · A3 Poster · limited edition: 100 pieces on clear vinyl · price: 18.00 euro Cd · nice digipak packaging · price: 13.00 Euro DENOVALI WORLD WIDE WEB www.denovali.com www.denovali.com/store www.denovali.com/store/allitems www.denovali.com/digitalstore www.denovali.com/booking www.denovali.com/festival www.facebook.com/denovalirecords www.twitter.com/denovali www.denovali.bandcamp.com www.denovali.com/spotify www.instagram.com/denovali www.soundcloud.com/denovali www.youtube.com/user/denovalirecords CURRENT DENOVALI RELEASES den048 | Bersarin Quartett · s/t den081 | The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation Doomjazz · Future Corpses den259 | The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble · I Forsee The Dark Ahead, If I Stay den306 | The Eye Of Time - MYTH II : A Need to Survive den307 | Blackfilm · Zero One Seven den308 | Blackfilm & Eraldo Bernocchi · Along the Corridors den309 | Elektro Guzzi · Polybrass den310 | LTO · Déjà Rêvé den311 | Ricardo Donoso · Calibrate den312 | Paco Sala · Our Love Is The Gold den313 | The Pirate Ship Quintet · Emitter den314 | Kuba Kapsa · Supersonic Moth den315 | Multicast Dynamics · Lost World den316 | Orson Hentschel · Antigravity den317 | Saffronkeira · Automatism den318 | Ricardo Donoso · Re_Calibrate den319 | Mario Diaz De Leon · Cycle and Reveal den320 | Petrels · The Dusk Loom den321 | Matthew Collings · Uzonia den322 | David Norland · Glam Tear Stain den323 | Bersarin Quartett · Methoden und Maschinen den324 | Edouard Cheritel · Suite No1 den325 | N(57) + Signals Under Tests · Disrupt / Construct den326 | Asfast · The Prime Same den332 | Michael Vallera · Window In den333 | Philipp Rumsch Ensemble · µ: of anxiety x discernment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denovalirecords Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 (edited) Out now. PITCHFORK (7.8) - Michael Vallera’s Window In is the ambient-music equivalent of a mood ring. The Chicago guitarist tucks microcosms of disparate sounds inside each of these four amorphous pieces—warm drones that unravel like deep sighs, creepy clicks that haunt like ghosts, curdled riffs that rush like dangerous rivers. They reflect what you bring to them, whether anxiety or hope. As menacing or majestic as you like, Window In is a timely reminder that it’s OK if your feelings are complicated, confounding, and subject to change. They’re all right here, bound inside 43 mesmerizing minutes. In one form or another, Vallera has been pursuing a single idea—electric guitar processed to the point of oblivion—for at least a decade. He played on Rhys Chatham’s guitar-symphony masterpiece, A Crimson Grail, and formed the excellent duo Cleared with drummer Steven Hess, a fellow Chicago instrumentalist who fosters a sense of formless wonder. On his three previous solo albums, each more intriguing than the last, Vallera suspended bits of piano chords or broken beats inside clouds of brittle or beautiful guitar, shaping an unstable horizon that seemed always to inch nearer. (...) In the past, Vallera has followed a distinguished tradition of guitarists reimagining their instrument’s textural edges; with these discoveries, he becomes part of the vanguard, like Keith Rowe or Christian Fennesz before him.
