This short little 3" cdr is a split between The Infant Cycle and Jared Davison, both of whom seem to have been making music for awhile now. I have heard some The Infant Cycle material in the past and liked it, but I think this the first I've ever heard of Jared Davison. This disc is apparently the first in a series of 3" discs released by The Ceiling called periodicals, which will feature The Infant Cycle and other artists in the Ontario area. According to the press release, these discs are intended to be viewed as a kind of snapshot into the projects, or a newspaper entry of a piece of that particular artist. Interesting to say the least.
Though the disc only has a time span of 11 minutes there is a lot of sounds explored here. For the most part both of the tracks here could be described as experimental with glitchy and ambient tendencies, but that description really does not do either track justice. The Infant Cycle have the first track here, titled "unrelated work tapes". The song is apparently somewhat of a re-working of previous materials from the project, and it mainly revolves around a set of clicks and nefarious drones. The clicks are somewhat reminiscent of Tin. RP, but darker. The drones vary from light to dark tones, with the only constant really being the presence of clicks. Good stuff.
The Jared Davison track "Phonography" is somewhat in the same vein with it's cold and dark ambient drones, but it is far more rhythmic, and a little bit more active. This track is supposed to composed solely of surface noise from vinyl records, but either Mr. Davison is lying, some very serious manipulation was going on, or he happened to be using a vinyl recording from an ambient record. because while a lot of this piece is comprised of record type sounds, there are a lot of drones that simply cannot be created in that manner.
