Fin de Siècle Media

Philip Samartzis' Windmills Bordered By Nothingness (recorded at CEM, Netherlands) is an electroacoustic reminder of these altered psycho-acoustic states which one achieves by living within the noise of one's city. For noise is merely sound without apparent organization; the sonic without perceivable direction. Samartzis' strident processing of field recordings and an almost ascetic placement of aural shapes and tonal cues casts an imaginary wandering though the thunderous channelling of urban noise. Therein, one can discover much silence, peace, calm.
