Lineland - Pavilion

Linear compositions, richly orchestrated and on a par with orthodox percussion, approach on a sound that's close to digital be-bop. 'Pavillion' has many storylines, no real headlines and ends up like a short novel for reading on a seacruise. But as these loops unwind, Lineland a.k.a. Malcolm Felder floods the sound of bits and bytes with sinewaves in an ever changing scape. 'Pavillion' smoothly fluctuates from ambient lullaby dub to hypnotic grooves. but the Lineland is neatly brought into culture and perpetually grows.   With its cartoon-like qualities, imaginary bubbles and popping cork sounds - at least it seems like that to me, but I guess Bacchus genetically modified me in a previous life-Malcolm Felder's CD is naive electronica entertainment, but it will last. Harmonic buzzes fall over layers of found noise samples, toy instruments and, reportedly, older casio tone recordings. Producing computer music has adapted the method of writing. It no longer is the reflection of an instance, hours or days in a studio but the end result of a programming, performing, recording and arrangement process that can be held to one's original intent and in one's own time. 'Pavillion' has succeeded; was slowly built, then opened up doors and simply became a delicate resort. Arguably the best Audio Dregs release from 2003, Lineland manipulates sounds and he pre-occupies your expectation to fulfill it with either gritty beauties or wonderful twitches. 'Pavillion' is only Malcolm Fedler's  first album, yet it is a parallel surprise.
