Cem Güney - Praxis [Crónica - 2008]Praxis sits in a strange place between surreal and often slurred electroinca, slow moving musique concrete, bent ‘n’ bizarre ambient soundscaping and touches of improv Through things start off fairly manic with the track A Phoetics Theme and its rapid fire sampling and comic cut up elements, don’t be deceived by this happy go luck opening shot. You see most of Praxis settles into a strange, surreal wonder or near slumber with Güney utilizing electronic drifts, sampled film music loops, eerier & spacey drone scaping, cut-up instrumental hit’s and texturing & all manner of odd, bizarre and effective cut-up field recordings. The tracks wondering and drifting between uneasy, strange, comic and atmospheric with Güney aways keeping alive the elements of surprise and invention through out the nine tracks on offer here. With Praxis Güney has created a series of strange and atmospheric sound places, which through for the most part remain fairly unintrusive and subtle manage to worm their way under your skin to create uneasy and surreal thought patterns and emotions    Roger Batty
