Black Pits by Hallway Five
Another great release from Public Eyesore released both as a cassette and a digital download.
This little project is definitely one of the trademark sound of Public Eyesore. It is set against the main theme that reminds me of a single minimal sound that is slowly manipulated and transformed and other textures are built around it throughout both tracks which are roughly 14 minutes (track 1 ) and just over 15 minutes (track 2).
In many ways it makes me think of the techniques used in improvised music but here all those are used to create a certain ambience and atmosphere which leads to completely different results.
The narrative and the way it is handled is way more dramatic and it is not merely intellectual adventure. It feels genuinely dark and Kafkaesque which is even emphasized more by great cover artwork.
I am glad these kind of albums are out since it helps to understand how transformative for a listener and a composer artist even a short time devoted to active listening and creating brings so much goodness and advantage.
Hallway Five presents Black Pits, recorded in a warehouse in Portland,
Maine in 2017.
Hallway Five was Sequoyah, Jacob, and John on this recording, their last two sessions, remixed in 2021 by Jacob and Sequoyah.
