Layers Over Rhythms
This set of electronic sonics is layered around rhythmic cores, so from noise-constructions to vocal-constructions there is always a prominent pace/measure, from the slow pulse of third Kutse tantsule to the punchiness of opener Hinged. In Kutse, overlays of the vocal/singing build and echo, pushed along by the clapclap of various sounds and a delayed but repeated metallic beat that adds another rhythm – it is lovely. Fourth, Mees, kes aina igatses has a slight loop of violin – Nuut’s usual main instrument, apparently – but again it is the layering of vocals and harmonies that preoccupy, once more beautiful. An analog Vermona organ provides a brooding backdrop for the meditative fifth track Vaheala valgus and the move to this point in the album has been quite choric and pretty. Sixth Subota returns to a more jagged concoction, though again pulsing to the drive of percussive impulses: ending (I’m sure) on the brisk jangle of Christmas bells!). New to me, I must explore her work more, but not until I have enjoyed this further. So often soothing, and you can get it here.
