Originally conceived as a sound installation, Fennesz's Longform Editions deployment is a back-to-basics, 'Venice'-style melter, packed with laptop-rinsed, exaggerated riffs and noisy, sea foam synth moans.
Fennesz had a concept for this one when he embarked on it in May last year, but tossed it out after listening to Roland S. Howard and being reminded of his priorities. Starting again with a blank canvas, he took his guitar, some sampled string instruments and a couple of physical modeling synthesizers and began to focus his attention on the strings' decay, building up a smeary 20+ minute soundscape that could "blend into everyday soundscapes and occasionally stand out." Honestly, it's his loveliest, most straightforward material in ages, slowing down the romantic, bleary-eyed eyed riffs that rooted 'Endless Summer' and 'Venice' and concentrating on the pace and the negative space.
Letting the strings ring out, Fennesz adds only delicate treatments at first, backing the resonant echoes with whirring digital shards, wary glitches and suave microtonal gongs. And as it evolves, the piece builds like a brisk wind, hitting a sober noise crescendo that rattles rather than ruptures. Never obtrusive, it sounds like radio interference that eventually settles into a euphoric, orchestral hum, the riffs stretched and morphed into thick waves before they vanish into glassy, haunted xenharmonic drones. Gorgeous stuff.
