A landmark! "Elapsed Time" is undoubtedly destined to be a classic, and one of the finest experimental tomes to emerge over the last years. Kevin Drumm array of releases have traversed the auditory spectrum, roaming from tension-ridden ambient and electro-acoustic suites through to massively distorted, dense and decimating guitar and synth compositions. But despite his noisy reputation, KD music can be overwhelmingly sensual even at its loudest, providing a form of minimalism replete with a delicate, melancholic motion. How wildly divergent emotions rise, hover, and fall using so little is a mystery that only Kevin Drumm can provide. While you may not find an answer, you can certainly get lost in the question.
This incredible 6CD box offers a profound insight into KD abilities to sculpt sound over his latest productions (mostly self-released on cdr and/or digital files), and it yields a deep and dense forest of sounds to generate massively psychedelic temporal wormholes, desolate ambient drone, computer assisted live electronics and rough spectral music. Despite Drumm's noisy reputation, his music can be overwhelmingly sensual even at its loudest. How wildly divergent emotions rise, hover, and fall using so little is a mystery that only Kevin Drumm can provide.
