Popmatters (USA) Ontology is the branch of metaphysics dealing with the nature of being, and these explorations in sound have an immense amount of commentary on our current states of being. The way we operate is constantly in a state of flux due to the advancements in technology that are made every year. We are constantly finding ways to imitate what we did once by hand with technology. The Ontology of Noise is a valid representation of that, replacing the sounds that exist in our human nature with a digital illustration in its absolute purest form.
AMG (US) The Ontology of Noise may very well have been a Ph.D. thesis project, which would make it a piece of conceptual art, but it can easily be approached as sound art or ambient noise music, akin to the works of Francisco López, BJ Nilsen, Z'Ev, or Guus Jensen. The album lasts a little over 35 minutes and, within that duration, offers five abstract textural pieces. Some, like "Sun Wind Darkness Eye" play on subtle shifts in a static setting, while others (like the opener "The One Substance" and "Process Philosphy") are more dynamic. Sound materials seem bare (one source per track, perhaps) but extenseively treated to let their inner cycles come to the fore.
The Sound Projector (UK) Needless to remark that The Ontology Of Noise doesn’t manifest quite the same degree of violence or pure hate of most Black Metal records, but it has been bred from the same strain of dark, introspective brooding, continuing the advancement of insight into that aspect of human psychology. As humans, we may not be at our best when we’re entertaining dark thoughts of revenge, loathing, or murder, but the Black Metal genre – and this CD – are doing something to help us understand and explore this condition.
Brainwashed (USA) The study of correspondences between various categories and classifications of being is considered an art form among alchemists, and themes of alchemy, metamorphosis and perception form a perennial thread spun through the course of the album. For Nana April Jun the studio has become a laboratory where the principles of art and science that make up the Great Work can be tested and applied, and by bringing the scientific method to bear he underpins the five pieces with a quality of clinical detachment..
Boomkat (UK) The Ontology Of Noise is certainly one of the more cerebral and contemplative entries into the genre, side-stepping the more frenzied, energetic extremities that tend to come hand-in-hand with extreme electronics. You might compare the particular brand of primal, uncompromising signal transformations on show here to the more abstract works of Mika Vainio, or perhaps Francisco Lopez.
JunkMedia (US) "Space-time continuum" seems to have an inkling of trauma induced by jarring conclusions that send ocean waves full of static lapping through the speakers. Subtle pricks of digital needles approach the periphery of the washed-out soundscape but are intently engulfed in the pure mass of shape emanating from the ocean of noise. Nana April Jun shows an astute perspicacity for the spatial relationship between sounds and objects. It seems implicit that each cacophonic emanation possesses certain physical properties that bear consideration in arrangement so as to prevent unsightly collisions between aural masses. A natural yet unpredictable progression is always within grasp, and Nana April Jun does well to reach those plateaus.
