VEND - WIEL (CD)

"LINE is proud to present Wiel the first full length from the collaborative project VEND, by Joe Gilmore and Alex Peverett. Wiel is a selection of compositions focusing on a subtle, delicate use of acoustic and synthetic sound in both abstract and linear form. Shorter pieces of acoustic events flutter about the stereo field with almost accidental design and are related to Vend's use of playful rhythmic compositions. The two longer compositions, Wiel take their form from the sonification of visually complex spiral patterns. Joe Gilmore is a graphic designer and sound artist currently living in the North of England.
