Hello
CRNO KLANK
"Etat des lieux"
adn33 CD
coming December 2003
Mp3s, info and pre-ordering now available at www.adnoiseam.net.
Being at the core of many projects (Ammo, Ambre, Axiome, Dead Hollywood Stars, Moonsanto...) and collaborations (with Mick Harris, Mark Spybey, Xingu Hill...), Holland-based C-drík comes back with “Etats des lieux” to his very first project, Crno Klank with a first CD album which presents across 11 tracks the vast array of material which has been written under this name.
Started in 1989, then paused in order to dedicate on other bands, Crno Klank was reborned a few years ago, as the electronic part of a performance collective featuring singers, african percussions and throat chants (and which for example was used for the “Les machines” performance, directed by Joël Splingard). Indeed, the tribal and raw aspect of this phase of Crno Klank is what made this project take the steps which led to “Etats des lieux”. “I got the idea of recording some ethno-industrial noise music, a mix between Korean, black African percussion and old school industrial and noise”, says C-Drík
What he now describes as “something cruder than my main projects, more simple maybe, a tribal modernism” sees the light of the day in a balance between scrapping noise, sharp compositions and a way of playing around with ethnic rhythms which goes far beyond sampling or copying. While the sound are definitely electronic, it is in their arrangements, in their patterns, that one will find the ethnic influences which are at the foundation of Crno Klank.
A decisive step for “Crno Klank”, the “Etats des lieux” CD was written with sampler, computer, zurna and metalpercussions, and is based on both recent material and old tracks, re-written for the album. “This is an introduction to a sort of tribal industrial, I'll go further for the next one.” concludes C-Drík. And seldom was an introduction so dense, standing alone as a complex work by itself.

The brilliant Cdrk (Ammo, Ambre, Axiome, Moonsanto, Dead Hollywood Stars) also begins with its new project Crno Klank inspired from an iconoclast tribal- noise scenario. The cramped synthetic message manifests itself through 11 tracks, among delirious percussions, amniotic dissonances and visceral transcendence. Executions much darker than the previous products by this Belgian artist, but very structured and organized with sage ability. In these much altered sonorities and tumultuous, as for "Etat des Stocks", "Petit Commerce", "Tour De Force" and "Engourdissement", the concentration of disturbing rhythmic channels is even thicker; febrile and oblique metallurgical jolts in austere post-industrial atmospheres. Turbid dark-powernoise soot in the remaining existential explorations, grey metamorphic splinters and pestilential frequencies announce the birth of unexpected magnetic eruptions. Abrasive abstractionisms for unforgettable unconventional turbulences. Cdrk is always in advance!

L'ingegnoso artista belga Cdrk Fermont (Ammo, Ambre, Axiome, Moonsanto, Dead Hollywood Stars) esordisce anche con il suo nuovo progetto (un altro!!) dal titolo Crno Klank e ispirato da iconoclasti scenari tribal-noise.
L'articolato messaggio sintetico si manifesta attraverso 11 brani, colmi di percussioni deliranti, dissonanze amniotiche e trascendenze viscerali.
Esecuzioni molto più oscure dei precedenti e differenti lavori dell'autore, ma ben strutturati e organizzati come sempre con sapiente abilità.
Nelle sonorità più alterate e tumultuose come "Etat Des Stocks", "Petit Commerce", "Tour De Force", "Engourdissement" la concentrazione di canali ritmici sconvolgenti è molto serrata; scosse metallurgiche febbrili e oblique in austeri ambienti post-industriali.
Torbide fuliggini dark-powernoise nelle restanti esplorazioni esistenziali, grigie schegge metamorfiche e frequenze pestilenziali annunciano la nascita di improvvise eruzioni magnetiche. Astrattismi abrasivi per indimenticabili turbolenze anticonvenzionali.
Cdrk è sempre in anticipo su tutti!
