While 2007's Xerrox Vol. 1 was concerned with notions of the "old world" and firmly rooted in the classical tradition, according to Raster-Noton Vol. 2 strives to access a "new world", working with samples that have been gathered and developed in the USA.
With a linear aeshetic that references the strategies of film music ("a journey without a predetermined target"), Xerrox Vol. 2 is an album which needs to be treated as a whole. The first four tracks are really one entity, and make use of samples of Michael Nyman and Sunn O)))'s Stephen O'Malley, while 'Sora' is based on a fragment Nicolai and Ryuichi Sakamoto's 2004 Insen tour. |
