This work is based on the instruments used and their These self-imposed constraints limit both the techniques used to manipulate sound, and are common for this artist. A sense of playfulness and freedom emerges from a certain layer.'' Click here to see more Dinzu Artefacts releases...

DL code included.The previous work is also recommended.Below is an explanation by the label. "A strange and fascinating mixture of guitar, sine tones, electronics and field recordings. The sound is crystal clear, allowing you to feel its depth and distance. Its episodic form is structured by irregular vertebrae. It is composed of a backbone, and its shape is both coherent and flexible.The concrete materiality of sound and its abstraction, the ``real'' acoustic space and its fictional sophistication, these. are arranged, combined and held in close and suspenseful dialogue.

Sound artist/birdwatcher David Donohoe from Dublin, Ireland released a limited edition of 2023 cassettes in June 6 from dinzu artefacts, a sound label in LA, USA.Contains field recordings, synths, and two deep-listening sound drones with tuned percussion, 100 minutes. Comes with DL code.Below is a commentary by the author himself. "Fen is a work that selectively evokes and evokes Fenland, County Kildare. It focuses on the vocalizations and physical communication sounds of three species of birds: Grasshopper Warbler, Sedge Warbler (both summer migratory birds) and Snipe. (Snipe) field recordings, tuned percussion and synthesizer textures.As a bird watcher and sound recordist, I am fascinated by the communication and language of birds.The idiosyncrasies these birds emit. Sounds (in the nose and wings) are mechanical and almost synthetic tones.The grasshopper's call travels in wide arcs as it rotates its head, creating a diffusion that is difficult to pinpoint to a specific location. The frenzied mimicry and mechanical calls of the Red Warbler are a true example of sampling and cut-up.The sandpiper creates a "winnowing" that indicates territory by vibrating its two tail feathers as it dives. but this is of particular interest as a non-speech communication.Birds have been a constant presence in human evolution and their calls are deeply rooted in our culture.However, when we hear the song of a certain bird, we suddenly realize how different that bird is.This "foreign thing" is the sound that captures my heart.These sounds form a thread of place as essential as the geological accident that defines this landform, this habitat as Fen."
