*EDITION LIMITED TO 100 COPIES ONLY FOR
THE WORLD. PLEASE NOTE THAT AT THE
REQUEST OF THE LABEL EACH COPY WILL BE
PERSONALISED WITH THE CUSTOMERS NAME AND
ADDRESS* The second EP on Cotton Goods'
Lending Library sub-division, this
release from arrives in a pressing of
just 100 copies, so as ever, grab one
while you can. This twenty-minute, two-
part offering comes from Whisperer, the
recording alias of Jerusalem-based
composer and musician, Emmanuel
Witzthum. Drawing on a classical
background, Witzthum is equipped to
offer an alternate perspective on
contemporary ambient music; in that
sense his music might be most comparable
to that of Kenneth Kirschner, another
artist who approaches microsound-style,
electronically processed music with
classical piano in mind. While Kirschner
tends to exhibit a strong Morton Feldman
influence, Witzthum's music isn't nearly
so minimal or difficult. The EP's second
piece, 'Still' is a jazz-inflected piano
solo, penned by the Israeli artist and
performed by Ju Ping Song. This
relatively short track is invitingly
easy on the ear yet still manages to
come across as resoundingly erudite in
terms of its harmonic developments.
First track, 'Shimmer' is a more drone-
based affair, processing unspecified
source sounds (probably piano) into a
block of honeyed harmony. Furtive
melodic elements seem to be coaxed out
of the music via granular synthesis, and
the whole mix swells into a spacious,
satisfyingly bass-heavy affair.
'Shimmer' is a tremendously enjoyable
chunk of ambient drone - chiefly because
it feels so intrinsically musical, and
moreover, un-drone-like. It also helps
that the pieces on this disc are so
different from one another. The two
approaches are mutually complimentary,
yet they reveal an artist who has a
broader creative profile than most
operators in his field. Lovely stuff,
all packaged in the customarily
resplendent, hand-crafted fashion we've
come to expect from Cotton Goods.
