MOTION - EVERY ACTION (CD)


"12k presents "Every Action," the 3rd full-length release from the UK's Motion (Chris Coode) and the follow-up to 2002's critically acclaimed "Dust" (12k1019). In addition to his work with 12k (Dust, as well as a collaboration with Doron Sadja on 12k's recent Two Point Two compilation, and an MP3 only release on 12k's term. series) Coode has worked with Fat Cat and also released the debut Motion cd "Pictures" (now out of print) on his own imprint. The work on "Every Action" spans from 1999-2004, some of the material created around the time "Pictures" was produced, sharing that release's more obvioius tonal and melodic content. Using a stipped-down setup of studio equipment Coode crafts his sound by sampling, processing, resmapling, reprocessing.. back and forth, like generations of tape transfers or photocpies of photocopies, until the final results are smeared and distorted ghosts of the original: detuned, groaning, fragmented. Despite the digital sources, Coode's music is highly organic, utilizing randomness, openess and dysfunction to create an oddly ambient and quieting sound made from stressed melodic flickering and skittering, tones, drones, and overprocessed textures."
