   About Demons
Please click the DEMONS PRESS link above for more info.

In the winter of 2005 Steve Kenney and myself began Demons. Steve rescued his Pro One from New Orleans Katrina aftermath. The synthesizer was moldy, had a bad power cord and a horrible buzz (I broke it after our first gig). I played various homemade electronic devices, rewired radios, feedback, etc.. Later that week I bought a Pro One as well. Mine had no working keyboard and, of course, a horrible buzz (a grounding issue). What we found ourselves doing was not so much making music with the Pro One but rather just turning them on and listening to the synthesizer play itself. I recorded our sessions and we called it Demons. Our synthesizers are still some what broke.

VISUAL MUSIC
Demons evolved from a synthesizer duo into a Visual Music trio with the incorporation of video artist Alivia Zivich. Working under the name "Video Madness" she often used the music of Demons as soundtracks to her analog video experiments. Live performances as a group led to the redefining of Demons as Visual Music.
"According to the theory of synaesthesia, sensory perception of one kind can induce sensory experience of another; for example, an individual may “see” certain colors when hearing musical notes. In such instances, sight does not negate hearing, but rather the two senses interact to elicit a heightened state of consciousness. While many art forms can evoke sensorial overlap, music has been considered by many proponents of the theory as an exceptional source for this phenomenon."

"Life Destroyer" box review
Miracolo. Non avrei scommesso granché su questo cofanetto cassetta+cdr+dvd dei Demons, che poi altri non sono che Steve Kenney e Nate Young. Invece già il lato A del nastro, Sick by Water, è una piccola meraviglia che sposa Philip Glass e gli SPK, vale a dire una figura circolare di synth reiterata all’infinito, sotto la quale si agita tutto un campionario di effetti noise che salgono, scendono, decollano e atterrano. Il lato B in questo senso è più convenzionale: Life Destroyer è un tappeto venefico di drones ed echi elettronici di quelli che conosciamo bene, ma i livelli, incredibile a dirsi, sono tutto fuorché trascurabili.

Il cdr contiene invece tre tracce, tutte più o meno sui dieci minuti. Early Year sa di musica cosmica andata a male, tipo primi Tangerne Dream rovinatissimi, ed è una buona introduzione. Hellstorm è una cosa cafonissima, tutti beat industriali che cadono a picco, effetti harsh ma non troppo, phaser a manetta e sbudellamenti splatter. Sembra una versione spacey ed estremamente più asciutta degli Yellow Swans, se capite cosa voglio dire. Smoking Homes è un’altra prova per elettronica analogica mandata per lungo, moooolto industrial fine 70’s, e in definitiva anche piuttosto (ehm…) melodica.

Il dvd contiene un video di Alivia Zivich nel consueto stile ipnotico-neopsichedelico, tipo un’unica figura cangiante (sembra quasi una proiezione, a dire il vero) che di volta in volta assume forme, colori, contorni diversi. Musica dei Demons, ovviamente, e se vi piacciono alcune vecchie cose dei Forcefield, il video fa al caso vostro (potete vederne un estratto qui).

Che dire, il box nel suo complesso è ottimo (anche se a livello di packaging il giro AA non raggiungerà mai le vette di tanti altri colleghi “brutti”), e direi addirittura che la scelta di tenersi su distanze brevi (ma a pensarci bene, in totale siamo sull’ora di musica – mica scherzi), invoglia all’ascolto ripetuto, all’approfondimento, e al “ne vogliamo ancora”. Bella prova.
