FEATURED ALBUM: 

Was wuerdest du denken?

by 

Audible Masticators & INYAN

1 track, 47 minutes

As yet unreleased.

‘What would you think if the track suddenly stops and nothing happens?’

Was wuerdest du denken? has got to be one of the most ‘interesting’ choices for a feature on grey clay, but only  because it is very likely to divide opinion. This is definitely not for some people.

Why is it here? Firstly, because I find I can listen to it for hours. At home, in the car, in the bath. And I get to hear a lot of this genre. So that makes it special. 

Secondly, as I listen to it I feel I am being wrapped up in two huge arms and held tightly (in a good way). And who wouldn’t love that? So what is it?

Essentially, apart from a few seconds of speech at the beginning it is a constant drone. Well, actually, probably several drones all at once. Drones… tones… sounds… dare I say it, notes.

And did I say constant? Well it kind of isn’t as well since there is a subtle texture to it. And all that is before the cumulative effect of it emerges…

It is the precise and inspired blend of all the above in Was wuerdest du denken? that gives it it’s character, depth and strength and that sets it apart from so much out there as a particularly fine example of its type.

In the release notes the artists say,

‘There is no arrival, no climax, no event that can be pointed to and named.’

They are deliberately playing with the concept of time in a listening experience.

‘Time does not move forward so much as it pools, thick and motionless, asking the listener to notice its weight rather than its direction.’

Following the spoken introduction in INYAN’s crystalline voice, the full brunt of it powers in and immediately takes over. My first mental image was of the propellor plane interior from some old black and white movie with the booming rumble of engines and various buzzes and hums. 

After that various sci-fi scenarios came to mind (gigantic cruisers, hovering slabs, vast dimly lit mega-machines - you know the kind of thing) until eventually I arrived at being inside the engine room of some incalculably huge vehicle right next to pleasantly warm metal ducts you can press your cheek against, that, along with the room, vibrate just slightly enough and deeply enough for an all-embracing synesthesic experience.

You could also venture that, in a similar way people talk about the Harsh Noise Wall genre, it is also about how it excludes. With such thrusting presence, so constantly, on so many frequencies, it wraps you up in another way too and maybe protects you a bit from the outside world?

Also in the release notes the artists say, 

‘The work suggests that meaning is not produced by action, but by attention.’ 

Here we arrive at what lies at the core of the experience - what the listener themselves brings to it.

grey clay radio proudly plays music and sounds that can require that the listener listens in different ways. You will hear music composed by Nature, algorithms, randomness, several at once and even by humans, and may not actually know which. Each potentially requiring a different type of engagement. I don’t say this to excuse anything in particular, just to illustrate that it is perhaps not so ‘interesting’ a choice for a feature on the station and in fact, high time.

Audible Masticators (aka Signalstoerung / Hendekagon) and INYAN are artists from Leipzig, Germany and run the superb Adventurous Music label.
