ANDREW CHALK, RALF WEHOWSKY & ERIC LANZILLOTTA - 'Yang-Tul'

CSR220CD (11 April 2016)
CD in digipak
Barcode: 0641871744701

A legendary sound collaboration formed of two lengthy pieces.

The first track features Andrew Chalk (Mirror, Ora, Ferial Confine) gently reworking the sound materials of Ralf Wehowsky (P16.D4). A hypnotic, slowly-evolving drone with waves of mysterious sounds, static and glitches.

The second piece, on the other hand, finds Ralf Wehowsky composing a frenzied journey into otherworldly realms using sound material from Andrew Chalk and Eric Lanzillotta (Eye Music). These pieces reflect a sound unique from the work of any of the three individual participants, but clearly related. Subtle, but full of detail for the willing listener.

Originally issued as limited coloured vinyl only on Lanzillotta's label Anomalous Records in 1998. Cover painting by Andrew Chalk. Remastered for CD from the original master recordings.

Track listing:

1. Wycha (21:39)
2. Chalawy (18:04)

Reviews:

"a work of subtlety and mass where sonic details and slow developments are close to noise and meditation is close to action. There's no need to use a bunch of word to describe the reissue of a great work. Absolutely recommended." (4/5, Chain D.L.K.)

"Andrew Chalk reworking material by Ralf Wehowsky sounds like an old cassette discovered in a forgotten Roswell locker. Those lo-fi swirling drones could be the hum of UFO thrusters, or the haunting verses of alien hymns... grunts stowed inside basements of frequency, and horrible rattes and clacks tracking the assembly of some unimaginable torture device. All in all, it's a dark and hyper-evocative set of audio" (Rock-A-Rolla)  

"Debemos aplaudir a Cold Spring por su genial iniciativa, ya que “Yang-Tul” es una obra maestra que ha pasado casi desapercibida para muchos durante todos estos años, y que ahora vuelve a ser nombrada y descubierta." (9.75/10, Mentenebre)
