The Sound Projector
Hands (CONCRETE DISC 0902) is the work of Malaysian sound artist and installation creator, Goh Lee Kwang, a release on the Herbal International label with a stunning foldout colour sleeve painted by Melissa Lin. On the disk we have nine very strong pieces of bizarre electronic music, swooping and flying every which way with their extreme dynamics in range, timbre and pitch. With their vaguely muffled and enclosed sound, each piece gives the impression of taking place inside a stainless steel box buried at the earth’s core. Very hard to square this ruthless, near-scientific music with the organic-zoology fantasies of the cover art, but a fine tension results from the clash of the two.
