Forecast/Toxic Bliss - From Destruction Comes Rebirth Vol 1 [Forever Escaping Boredom - 2013]“From Destruction Comes Rebirth” is series of 3inc CDR’s put out by Florida based noise/experimental label Forever Escaping Boredom. Each release in the series brings together two noise/experimental artists who each present a ten minute track a piece- for this first volume we have two walled noise projects. Each release in this series comes with identical artwork(save for the texts). And this consists of double sided black and white artwork, that takes in overlaid pictures of an apocalyptic city scape, & what looks like some sort of ground plans or map. First up we have a track from Forecast( Aka German noisemaker now residing in Florida Sisto Rossi, who is most known with-in the scene for his Wallkeeper project). His track is entitled “Stormclouds”, and it comes in at the 9.51 mark. The track is built around a two layered ‘wall’- firstly we have a locked/ taut purring 'n' drilling low end tone, and over this is a thinner swirling ‘n’ slow crackling selection of tones. The purring/drilling element is very uniformed & intense, while the swirling/ crackling tones rather bring to mind the slow restful crashing in & out of the sea against a pebble beach. This mix of intense & noisily soothing elements make for a rewarding bit of ‘wall-making’. The more intense low-end element dies down in the latter part of the track just leaving a more buffeting & thin weather based texturing. Secondly we have the track from Toxic Bliss (Aka Delray Beach, Florida based Mitchell Rotunno- also of noise/ drone project Tjere, & runner of the Untitled Productions label). His untitled track comes in at just over the ten minute mark, and it’s a lot more intense & full-on compared to the first track. The ‘walls’ built around a rapid ‘n’ constantly rolling low-end noise tone, and this is weaved in with a thinner & slightly more jagged secondary noise tone. These elements are locked together into a constantly circling ‘n’ descending noise ‘wall’. It’s fairly simply & fixed piece of HNW, but it’s quite effective in it’s intense & crude attack.
To sum up this first Volume of “From Destruction Comes Rebirth”, each track is a fairly consistent & rewarding enough example of wall making, and both tracks have their own distinct take on the HNW form. Roger Batty
