Jason Kahn - Noema mp3 download

Simple

A fascinating release on Kahn’s own label, Editions. Full of rather abstract and overt processing of raw fields, it seems something of a departure from much of his other field-recording based work. With no single piece exceeding 2:30, abrupt transitions from harmony to noise, and sounding simultaneously off-the-cuff and intimate, it reminds me a bit of the pseudo-audio-diaries of the excellent 'Kona Kai' by Ypa. Occasionally suffering from a derivative exoticism, and often a bit murky, it still stands out as a unique set of recordings in his oeuvre. Good to know that Kahn, with hundreds of releases and credits to his name, can still surprise.
