NEHIL, SETH - BOUNDS (LP)

""Bounds" consists of 11 electro-acoustic compositions, whose first versions were constructed by Seth Nehil for the "Concerts in the Dark" series at Moers Festival 2012 curated by aufabwegen. In 2013 Seth did the final versions and added some new pieces. "Bounds" is an exciting trip through sound manipulation, treated drums and very detailed textures. The overall atmosphere is dark but the way the sounds are arranged and connected speaks of an almost scientific clarity. Seth Nehil is a sound and video artist making concerts, performances and installations. Nehil meshes manipulated acoustic recordings, voices, instruments, granular synthesis and field recordings into richly detailed spaces. His compositions draw equally from classic musique concrete, film sound design, hip hop production and noise to form a uniquely hybrid sonic world, full of off-kilter rhythms, sudden junctures and explosive bursts."
