The Field: Silent
There are few musicians who genuinely understand the power and the beauty of The Loop. Axel Willner is one of these musicians. His debut album From Here We Go Sublime exploits The Loop through both evolving and cut-and-paste methods. Usually he sticks to the cut-and-paste method – joining loops together and layering mutating percussive loops over the top. But that description betrays and ignores the obvious work involved in choosing or constructing the loops and working them together into some scintillating tracks. Silent is notable for its vocal hook, recalling the ‘wailing women’ tracks of Orbital. Awesome stuff.
