Nearly an hour of guitar and bass ambience realizing a sonic version of the multiple view points, fractured geometry, and repetition found in the literary works of Alain Robbe-Grillet and Ryunosuke Akutagawa. Edition of 72 copies packaged in three variations of manipulated images by Johann. Available from Small Doses . "Memory belongs to the imagination." - Alain Robbe-Grillet Alveromancy; conjuring through the use of sound. Abstract electronics, behemoth guitar drones, sonic surrealism. 56 minutes, CDR, full color artwork print in a transparent sleeve. Available from Triple Bath. "Originally a guitarist, these days (Michael is) using anything he can lay his hands on: from the guitar to the computer, from drums to glass - all of this is used to the extent of no longer being able to recognize what it is. Creating large pieces of vast and dense clouds of sound. Music that sounds very electronic, yet very organic too. You don't recognize the initial sources - it's only because they are mentioned in the press text. Music like this would be called ambient industrial: it's too noisy to be fully ambient and relaxing, and too ambient to pass on as real noise. This is sort of ambient (industrial, drone whatever) music that I really like. Referring to modern electronics (especially Roland Kayn), heavily processed electro-acoustic music and Germany's cosmic music (especially Conrad Schnitzler), this is music that hardly sees innovation, but in the capable hands of Chocholak it's still a great miracle." Franz de Waard/Vital Weekly
