4/5 Elektroniskt/drone.
Joachim Nordwalls (The Skull Defekts, Alvars Orkester, Ideal m.m.) första soloplatta är extremt konsekvent. Sex ljudskulpturer som vibrerar inne i en glödande ugn. Han sjunker ner djupt i drone, klanger och rytmer som rör sig sakta, knappt märkbara frekvenser, musiken kan vara tyst och sökande, men samtidigt fysisk och personlig.
PM JÖNSSON, GP 22 November 2006.
Drones with comteplative yet crusty attitudes, unresolved harmonies, resonances, unions of organic and synthetic elements inserted in small and ephemeral audio disturbances.
Aurelio Cianciotta, www.neural.it
Gothenburg, Sweden resident Joachim Nordwall may be known to some through his membership in Alvars Orkester and The Skull Defekts but his solo debut under The Idealist guise, I Am The Fire, captures an entirely different yet equally compelling style. Its six electronic tracks straddle meditative ambient and industrial drone, the combination of which makes for a subtly unnerving listening experience, akin to being strapped into a chair and therefore helpless to do anything but watch while a centipede scuttles across one's arm.
Textura (USA), www.textura.org
Powerful drone music that won't lull the listener into a deep sleep, but make the hairs on your back rise up. Intense music that defies genres, belonging partly to industrial music and partly drone/ambient, but is just right on.
