| Kuvaus: | Over the last five years, Finnish percussionist Janne Tuomi has convincingly occupied several strikingly different musical worlds. He's collaborated with John Zorn on his notoriously complex performance-only piece Cobra; he's played drums with Finnish neo-Krautrock unit Circle, on their 2007 album Arkades; and he's appeared as a symphony orchestra soloist with Minoru Miki's Z-Concerto. Unsurprisingly, his solo work -captured on his 2004 debut, Approaching, and the follow-up, Resonance - has combined a number of approaches including free jazz, drone and contemporary classical. With this latest, he adds a thick layer of electronic effects and multitracking, which allow solo percussion to explore rich new worlds through two long pieces. The title track sets up an insistent cymbal-crash rhythm that quickly settles into a backround of white noise. Tuomi adds layers of contrasting timbres - rumbling tympani, shrieking cymbal scrapes and finally a brawny, free workout at the drum kit - but throughout attention is repeatedly drawn to the dubwise manipulations of the background. Tweaked so that it appears near then far, sharp then muffled, it creates a queasy exercise in perspective, as if the floor were repeatedly dropping out from under your feet, to be replaced by another, then another. The slightly shorter "suo" is a more meditative piece with gongs and rattles put through thick reverb and making a voluptuous yet alien soundworld that fleshes out ideas put forward nearly 50 years ago by Sun Ra's Cosmic Tones for Mental Therapy. By the end, it sounds like a Far East courtly ritual reflected back from a distant planet. There is a notable precedent for what Tuomi is doing here. In the 1980's, Californian percussionist z'ev's dark, metallic drones helped to define and extend Industrial music. In the 21st century, Tuomi's serious yet psychedelic electroacoustic constructions could do something analogous for the post-Noise era.
