its been 6 weeks since “volume objects” was released on 12k
i had experienced an anticipatory tension - excitement + anxiety about how the album would be received
so far i have been really fortunate with the response from listeners and reviewers alike
there have been some reviews in print that i haven’t had a chance to decipher (my knowledge of other languages is limited) – magazines such as Rifraf, De:Bug, Bad Alchemy, Rockerilla, Jazzthetik, D-Side have all published, but i can only guess at their text….
today a detailed review came in from The Silent Ballet :: link
the reviewer goes to great lengths to “define” the album and the sound – it is such a pleasant surprise to have people dedicate their time and energy to making sense of something that I have made ….
the review concludes:
“Now we can define Volume Objects satisfactorily. The album is a subtle exploration of various forms of sensual impression that utilizes space as a means to involve the listener in the creation of meaning within the pieces, as well as providing a means of access to the subtle within the context of the album. It is an experience that is never tiresome, never dull, and offers untold rewards to anyone who will give it a few moments of their time. There are very few albums that merit such a long, arduous definition process as this one – that alone should show just how special this experience is. Let less deserving artists be pigeonholed into ill-fitting categories, be described in awkward comparisons. To ignore this album would be to do yourself a great disservice, a crime against your musical imagination. Autistici has created a masterpiece of experimental expression, of interaction between listener and artist, and of the interaction between differing forms of art. The greatest art doesn't defy definition, rather, it cries out to be clearly and imaginatively defined.”

Congrats on the reviews, if you want any of them translated (from French, German or Dutch) send me a EMmail and I'll have a go.
Seeing a 12k ad in The Wire mag featuring your album really put a smile on my face. Go Autistici!!

everybody buy it. it is teh awesome. you know if 12k likes it you will too. 12k is (IMHO) an excellent example of how the impulses which instigated IDM continue in new but related forms. translation: ppl who like intelligent electronic music should buy this album.
