Climata by Robert Curvengen

In the turbulent cascades of the infinities’ breath, the duration of time stretches onward toward and past languid moments of breathless plein air, the further beyond dances together with the present moments in oscillations that onwardly, forwardly, and backwardly, express changes through revelatory tones and sinusoidal reverberance. In the skies and heavens themselves, and a new world will form from the emptiness… Oh what beautious reverberance…

This is a pensive, exploratory piece that sits neatly into the background if need be. Oscillations are interwining into a droning sense of dark ambiguity. The pieces here are the combination of part art exhibit, part live performance, part field recording, part electronic, part ambient-drone. The tracks are performed in “sky chambers” modeled after aristotle’s own work.

There are little details like a bird chirping, or a police siren, or a faint conversation… These details do quite a lot to the piece, they really are nice field recordings, and the sound takes new form.. A bird chirping becomes swollen with resonance; a police siren echoes unnaturally through the chamber; that faint conversation masked through its own resonance…

There are many ways to describe music, yet Climata refuses to be labeled so easily, or attract too many labels to render the piece indescribable until heard. The thoughtful caretaker of these sounds is subtly oscillating oscillations, through oscillations, it’s a special brand of minimalism that I don’t want to pin down, and yet, Climata shows a careful listener what lies “more beyond”
