   About Silences
Photobucket
"Silences is absolutely successful in blending acoustical instruments and electronics together into an organic unity. Carefully everything is assembled into a very human music that is more then the sum of its constituting parts. This is supplemented with a good sense for melodic aspects. They don't seek interesting dissonance or alienated juxtapositions, instead harmony is their thing. Friendly and uplifting music that is created with a clear concept in mind and heart."

~Vital Weekly, August 2008


"...instrumental, electronic jazz infused psychedelia. Without warning a swirling flurry of lights and sound that was at times vibrant and up beat and at other times dark and smoldering with a building computerized glow flooded the bar and surprised the audience. With nods to experimental electronic artist such as Autechre and Venetian Snares as well as the more organic free jazz of John Coltrane, Silences tied it up with a bow and handed it to those of us not hip enough to know how to hear it all in one place."

~KEXP 90.3FM Seattle


"Silences Sumire sounds as if Arovane remixed the live improvisation of Miles Davis, laying on his glitchy swishing drum patterns over electro-acoustic treatments of jazzy instrumentation. Hailing from Chicago, Silences composes a blend of light, electronic, and digitally crunchy percussion over woodwinds and female vocals. The sound of Silences Sumire is a abstract and modal, featuring extemporaneous saxophone overtones, voicing and glissando, with a continuous playful DSP effects of sample chopping, filtering, and bit-crushing. Chicago has a complex music scene that spans across genres like contemporary classical, rock, hip-hop, blues, jazz, and electronic, the duo skillfully merges the latter two... I could even see this track appearing on Compost Records Future Sounds Of Jazz compilation series. Instead (and probably for the better), Return Is Selective is released on Ropeadope Digital label following a couple of EPs from Silences Sumire on Chicago local ears&eyes collective. Recommended..."

~Headphone Commute 9.08


If you're looking for cross-pollenization of the old and new schools, check out Silences Sumire. Local amalgamators Charles Gorczynski and Thomas Faulds create a hybrid of ambient IDM and free jazz. Synthesizers, chimes, and crackling beats lay an atmospheric foundation over which woodwinds emote near-verbalizations. Vibraphonist Katie Wiegman, of Chicago indie post-jazz group Algernon, guests on Return is Selective, the duo's new album available through Ropeadope Digital.

Afternoon!

I hope that you are well and squeezing the last of the weekend loveliness from your Sunday.

Just wanted to drop you a quick (if a little impersonal) message to let you know about the laid back, electronic talent that is ...CREEPY CANDLES......

http://www.myspace.com/creepycandles


As well as his own funky abstract noodlings, you can also find a remix of one of the floatier tracks by yours truly.

I hope that you enjoy!

Cheers
