Xerrox Vol. 2
undertakes an intense journey and affords the luxury to take its time. While
Xerrox Vol. 1
(R-N 078LP, 2007) referred to the old world, with its tradition deeply rooted in classical music,
Xerrox Vol. 2
tries to access a new world. It works with samples that have been gathered and developed in the USA -- the so-called new world -- where the album was almost completely recorded. The dramatic and dynamic approach of
Xerrox Vol. 1
has been replaced by a structural density on
Xerrox Vol. 2
. Instead of working with individual musical entities,
Vol. 2
instead develops a linear aesthetic that refers to musical strategies of film music. Hence there are no implicitly singular pieces, but open musical structures -- a journey without a predetermined target. The first four tracks of
Xerrox Vol. 2
actually condense into one track, using samples of
Michael Nyman
and
Stephen O'Malley
. They combine to form a sort of soundtrack before fading away in a swell of reverb feedback. "Xerrox Sora" is a rudimentary piece from Alva Noto's collaboration with
Ryuichi Sakamoto
, which originates from and was performed as an encore during the 2004
Insen
tour (R-N 076DVD, 2006). Continuing with "Xerrox Monophaser 2," the album creates a dense and interweaved complexity that only gradually unfolds its depth. While "Xerrox Teion" dissolves in the process of copying into another sample rate, "Xerrox Teion Acat" again tends to re-condense its quality.
Xerrox Vol. 2
seems to be more playful than
Xerrox Vol. 1
; following the approach of a live set, it is not so much obligated to a theoretical concept. Therefore it intends to break a static framework before it gets too restricted. The 11 tracks of
Xerrox Vol. 2
serve as documents of an immediately experienced time or as attempts to unfold in an endless space. In this sense,
Xerrox Vol. 2
comes close to the idea of the
Aleph-1
project (R-N 087LP), which tried to disappear rather than occupy an endless space. Mastered at Dubplates & Mastering.
