1st Encounter

An electroacoustic masterpiece which unites the talents of France's Christian Renou [Brume] and Belgium's Slavek Kwi [AMT].
Each artist has constructed and deconstructed the other's original material.
These two sound artists fit perfectly together and truly demonstrate a clear understanding and appreciation of each other's ideas.

1st Encounter was completed in 1996 and is part of an ongoing series of releases by Artificial Memory Trace.
The sound on this particular installment is as one would expect given the backgrounds of the two artists: a mixture of electro-acoustic and concrète sounds.
The two artists are forced to create their music using the other's music as the principle source material, and it really changes both of their sounds quite a bit.

It is difficult to classify the works of these two gifted composers, because their work is clearly void of the academic rigidness that defines much of the electro-acoustic scene. There also seems to be a greater flexability in terms of sounds being employed and more freedom to really let loose in terms of intensity.
