Bio / Background

There's a pervading darkness to Salvagesound's release "12 Reductions (2005)", a feeling of somthing haunted and mysterious, enigmas and riddles and secrets all wrapped up around eachother in a knot that can't be undone without losing yourself in it's intricacies. Using processed field recordings and found sounds, Matthew Poulakakis of Salvagesound has created a wonderful collection of tracks that sets fire to the imagination.

"corq" opens the disc with a series of scraping and abstract sounds suggesting percussive elements but too random and alien to be heard as drums. It's a suspenseful piece, a very dramatic work that creeps along slowly but effectively towards it's resolution. "tuebe" follows, a track that brings to mind the sound of the void as portrayed by a drifting drone. It's nice work, quite engaging in it's minimalism as form and shape become apparent throughout. Track three, "Alvalva", continues along similar lines, building on a theme and then diverging into new territory.
