The
sound of synth and other static devices has become a somewhat common place for
me lately; though it is not nearly common enough as I am neither growing tired
of it nor do I think that there shouldn’t be more of it still. In this particular case, on this cassette
called “Lucinda’s River”, we have an artist from France bringing out a sound I
have heard before now from more countries than I care to count. I
just simply love when music like this can spread into a worldwide phenomenon of
sorts, yet some people you’d ask them (Okay, most people) and they’d have no
idea what you were talking about.
It
reminds me of how I saw this promoted link earlier today that wanted me to
click it so I could enter to win tickets to see some DJ and someone else, and
all I could think when I read their names was, “Who?”. And I’m no pop snob—I know my fair share of
mainstream acts if only by name. But
then I couldn’t help think how I could name some of my favorite artists right
now and they’d have the similar reaction of question.
Between
the synth, the drone, the waves that go in and out and just the overall vibe of
this cassette in general, it reminds me a lot of an alien signal being
transmitted, but even more so it reminds me of some sort of twisted take on how
the “War of the Worlds” by H.G. Wells was once broadcast over the radio and
thought to be real. Only in this
scenario, the public might not see this as being as real and this might in fact
just be the real message that H.G. Wells intended to send all of those years
ago. Tomorrow night, I am going to play
this towards the sky and see what happens next.
