Description:
The press release for the third album by Fred Szymanski`s alter-ego Laminar, 2003`s Nozzle, contains the following description: "Nozzle`s starting point is the investigation of non-standard synthesis routines for creating music. As a whole, Nozzle is based on iterative functional synthesis and asynchronous granular synthesis, which involves developing musical structures by manipulating interactions at the sound-particle level." Got that? In plain English, this basically means that rather like his obvious hero, 20th century Greek composer Iannis Xenakis, Szymanski doesn`t compose music in the traditional sense so much as write complex mathematical formulas and programs, then assigns them musical values. The pieces on Nozzle are the result: amelodic electronic soundscapes of whirs, clicks, clanking, and static. Szymanski does a better than average job of varying sound and mood in these seven lengthy pieces in comparison to many of his contemporaries, and it`s an intriguing example of contemporary process music for those interested in such things, but listening to Nozzle, it`s hard to think of anything here that Xenakis hadn`t done a half-century previous. ~ Stewart Mason
