Bodies Floating In the Bay - The Glimmer Of Darkness [Violent Noise Atrocities - 2009]

Bodies Floating In the Bay may sound like the name of another straight-up Gallio influence slice of HNW, and through there elements of walled noise here this is a much more complex & detailed beast that`s difficult to put into one noise bracket or genre.

The man behind the project is Churner`s Dan E and with The Glimmer Of Darkness he builds a damned and twisted sonic travelogue with the use of: Carvin Sx-300, Contact Microphone & a broken turntable. The 29 minute track has elements of violent mutilated pop music, caustic yet creative turntable abuse, static tone loops, sudden boils of HNW, echo & sinister noise tone, & a sludgy feeling of pain & death. For me the tack really feels like your follow the killing, mutilation & the ultimate dumping of a body in large water mass and then its slow bobbing journey along the water. As Churner creates a very rich, but dammed sonic tapestry of muffled and mutilated pop/ soul music as if heard from a distant as the body bobs along or as the killer rips pulls& stabs the less drops of live out of the victim, all manner of saw & hack to illustrate the killers working on the body, and the HNW burst when the killer rage suddenly explodes or the body hits a rock or other obstacle on it`s river bound journey making more dammed it`s racked & ruined shell.

From beginning to end this is a splendid & highly crafted slice of well thought out & executed noise compositions; once more showing Churner as one of the most interesting, creative & consistent noise artists operating in the USA today.
