Reviews and feedback to 'A Dark Light' soundtrack |
It sounds lovely! Interesting way the sounds came together, excellent work.... Lawrence English, ROOM40 |
Had a good listen now. It's really good - works well on headphones. Nick Webb, Labelsound |
| It’s a living breathing thing, good work and well recorded. Geoff Dolman, Static Caravan |
| I find myself imagining where the sounds came from. Very evocative indeed. As you say it puts the listener into a place rarely visited by humans and that is a great feeling. Very relaxing and calming and I can occasionally feel that cold wind on my face. Miles Davies, Filament Recordings |
| Really liked the music, well wigged out mate! Nick Warren, Superstar DJ |
| I was very interested-in the way you chose to make, record and program the works on the disc and I have listened to it all several times now. For me the pieces with little or no trace of interference worked best and showed a real grasp of context and the "other" life of all sound isolated and "re" audited/scrutinized. I would like to hear where you go from here and am interested to see how your collaboration with Howard Silverman turns out. Paul Schütze |
I enjoyed listening to it. Nicely done. I wish some of the tracks were longer, that the sound went on for awhile, but I’m like that. Makes me wonder what the rest of the exhibition is like. Jeph Jerman |
I found this work to sound very "un" field recording in sound. To me, this is a great quality because the recordings are very unique. I tend to get bored with "typical" sounding recordings and this work is anything but. To my ears, you are attempting something that is along the lines of Chris Watson. That is not only bold, but admirable. Kevin Wienke, Alluvial Recordings |
| i liked the soundscapes with the very minimal amount of sound design and composition. i think the tale is a nice ending for the cd... Marc Behrens |
| Nice and subtle. Philippe Petit, Bip-Hop |
| It's (an) interesting collection of the various sounds. KK.Null |
| I got it and enjoyed listening to it a few nights before I slept. It's relaxing. I found your album refreshingly unpretentious and nicely put together, so thanks. James Lightfoot, Wyrd Skies |
| Very interesting stuff. Andrew Hulme, O Yuki Conjugate |
It is very interesting and I believe if we broadcast it we will be very unique. Sofia Bineva, SPIRIT MEDIA Ltd. |
| I find your work on iceland interesting in itself - probably even more impressive with the series of photographs. Anyway I insist on the interest of the impredicable aspect between real field recordings and sound manipulation. Sharp back ground, the sound shows us finally a new terra incognita. Guy-Marc Hinant, sub rosa |
| Having listened to Simon's CD, I was amazed by some of the sounds, especially the ice breaking off, and the beach. Also the Icelandic saga had an incredible quality to the rhythm of the language. The quality of the sound and how it came across on many of the tracks was pretty incredible. So many, many thanks for sharing it and I hope that the launch goes well.
