review... Wiki says: Oneiromancy (from the Greek
Oneiros) is a form of divination based upon dreams; it is a system of dream
interpretation that uses dreams to predict the future. Aptly Jim's
Oneiromancer is quite dreamlike, yet surreal with it too! For Jim this unique
in that features no synthesizers or conventional instruments whatsoever, with
hints of the weirder end of Vangelis, onto Bayle, Parmegiani or even
Morphogenesis. Expect lots spring and glass tonalities, shudders and reverbs! Jim's notes... For some time I had been carrying around the idea of
making an electroacoustic album: a collection of pieces whose component
sounds would be entirely sourced from microphones (both acoustic and contact
mikes) and which would use no conventional instruments, synthesized or
otherwise. Until last year (2000) it remained just an idea; however, as my
understanding of sound processing gained pace via the explorative environment
of Endgame (and also solo experiments) the time came to leave the digital
synthesizer, guitar and source tapes alone and concentrate on the
microphones. I decided to allow myself one concession: my voice, which would
be just another sound to be picked up acoustically. on YouTube... First edition (quantity not specified) - released ?/?/2001. |
