Starting  with Charles\u2019 <em>Unter den Linden<\/em>, a wonderfully atmospheric  30-minute composition which was performed in concert at SND Studios (UK)  in early 2009. By using the sounds of wind \u2014 and of flying things like  planes and birds \u2014 the skies are heralded. The above and beyond sounds  pay homage to his recently deceased father, Daniel Charles. There\u2019s  something of a spirited rumble, though this is quite low-flying and  vibratory. A transitional piece that lulls and suspends throughout, like  a haunting reminder, or a flickering light at the end of a dark  cavernous space that you gravitate towards curiously. Once through you  are out on a bustling street, walking through the din of the city.  Worlds slowly collide, politely shifting as an ascending craft swallows  the scene, leaving behind a semblance of trickling water and whisper.<\/p>\n<p>On <em>Und Transit<\/em> <strong><a href=\"..\/\">i8u<\/a><\/strong> (France Jobin) paints a restrained world with sine waves by bending  elegant sounds, paired with the echoey hollows of a passageway in Lower  Austria. During an art residency she found a certain inspiration in the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Minoritenplatz\">Minoritenplatz<\/a>, a  long corridor towards her studio. Within these sounds of emptiness  Jobin recorded a certain reverberation here, a path that shuttles you in  secret. The five pieces that comprise the recording are a collection of  manipulated field recordings in and around the city of Krems known for  its eye-popping riverscapes and historical architecture. Unlike most  North American cities contemporary art is integral to the social  structure of daily life here. i8u helps draw from daily walks through  the city in what may be better described as a micro-encoded mapping of  her meanderings. It is on <em>Donnerstag<\/em> that this becomes most  evident on this very elusive work. It lifts gently, opens with an airy  drone, rises and glides away.<\/p>\n<p>TJ Norris<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/toneshift.wordpress.com\/\">toneshift<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CHRISTOPHE CHARLES \/ Unter den Linden I8U \/ Und Transit Nonvisualobjects This is one of nonvisualobjects\u2019 three new releases, all of which are collaborations, or split eps, by two artists.
