Third I / Scissor

DARK AMBIENT/MINIMAL NOIZE
FROM: SERBIA AND AUSTRALIA

I) THIRD I-THE BIRDS: Static and Nature.Noize and "Beauty".Harsh high end howls of birds and feedback that seem to blend together as one. There is an odd ambience here, like the kind of ambience created by crickets at night.Piercing ringing feedback rises and falls.Sounds not found anywhere in nature peak through for moments and vanish.Sounds like a noize/ambient track recorded in a rain forest with minimal technology and the batteries are dying.Strange sounds along with the wall of birds and crickets continue mixed with crackling static.The noize effects almost sound like wooden flutes at times giving this more of a primal feel.Makes me imagine cavemen making first contact with alien life.I wouldn't call this "Harsh Noize" but the production gives it a Harsh feel.At times it is almost painful w/ such high ringing walls of sound.Static effects whirl and crackle more towards the end obscuring the sounds of nature. In the end noize wins and nature is no more.

II) SCISSOR-COIL: Scissors contribution to this short split is a little more harsher.Static forms a pulse and rythym along with clicks and strange sounds.An air-raid signal goes off and becomes a fragmented drone adding more to the pulse of the track. Becoming more distorted and glitched as it goes on until it becomes a myriad of harsh noize.The pulse stops.The air-raid warning continues and is invaded by various electronic noize and grinding.The coils are turning.Evolving.Breeding.Giving birth to more machines each with a tone of their own.Another pulse is born and rumbles through then breaks.Crunching distorted noize.Oldschool video game-like effect and electronic fuckery.This is much more diverse than the THIRD I side of the split.Walls of noize and various manipulated frequencies.Almost sounding angry at times.The coils of the machinery engulfing any who ventured this far into the realms of underground electronics.It all begins to wind down and back up again. Coils constricting the listener.High pitched noize layers ring out and compete with one another Joined by "drums" or rather a plodding of some sort.Bubbling attacks of razor sharp sound.This is not the harshest noize projekt around by any measure but there is something challenging about all the drilling,pulsing analog soundscapes that SCISSOR presents us with.Low pummel. Distorted drones.Noize torture.Then the coils slowly unwind to silence.

Third I - The Birds

Treći rad Third I u 2010. godini je vrlo kratki EP sa samo jednim istoimenim instrumentalom koji je kroz neuobičajeni elektronski noise prikazao cvrkut ptica.

Nema se šta puno pričati. Po običaju, Third I su ponovno isporučili nesvakidašnje izdanje, ovaj puta bez ikakvih natruha melodija i harmonija, te su se bazirali na čistoj primjeni electro-industrial noisea u svrhu konkretne glazbe. Sa nezaobilaznim eksperimentalnim pristupom koji kod njih više nije niti 'eksperiment', već stil izražavanja, priuštili su 13 i pol minuta ugodne ambijentalne buke u kojoj nema priče niti fabule, već je po Stockhausenovom sistemu, skoro pa doslovce uzet mikrofon i snimljen je cvrkut ptičica. Naravno, sve zvukove su Third I proizveli na svojim elektronskim napravama s ciljem da prikažu jedan odsjećak vremena bezbrižne ptičje igre na drveću pored vašeg prozora. I dočarali su sve što umjetnik može i mora prikazati na svojem pejzažu, u ovom slučaju zvučnom, koji je prilično 'siv' i olovno težak sa naglašenim šumom poput najlošije audio ili magnetofonske trake koja bi u slučaju vizualne umjetnosti mogla biti zarđala tabla lima ili nekog gvožđa s apstrakcijama koje aludiraju na ptice i njihov cvrkut.

Kreativno i dorečeno. Konkretno. Manjka uzbudljiva priča poput Stockhausenove "Bird Of Passage" (1976), ali u ovom slučaju to i nije toliko važno.

Third I Serbia

„Third I was created in 2006. by Peđa and Nenad. We wanted to create music with dark sense and experimental approach. So Third I became entity and we use it to play, experiment and provoke. All the time Third I is changing, progressing, getting new faces and new expressions… Today, I really can’t tell you what Third I is: band, project, collective, performing act,… we just call it "entity". ... more
