I do hope we get a proper set of songs out of this, rather than loads of white noise, bleeps and knob-twiddling.
Sometimes it’s refreshing not having all the dots joined up, but I suppose that I’d also rather a more melodic and less abstract soundscape materialized from any possible output, it would be a shame to completely submerge John’s song writing skills, although It could turn out to be a very promising meeting of minds, can you imagine an album of tracks expanding on the raw bleep’s and twangs within Metamatic, or having the instrumental break in Metal Beat teased and twisted out into a whole album.
As a bonus its been interesting exploring the Expanding Records site, and listening to the work, (as a non musician myself) it's great to be reminded that there’s really a whole lot of productive people out there creatively working away as electronic sound artists, (as is also the same here with some of the forum members).
Not wanting to go completely off topic but I loved that track on the video page by Flotel:
Up To The Ether, and the appropriated 60’s corporate film that accompanies it is fantastically ominous and stylish, now that’s a movie I really want to see more of!
