Reviews
Already appeared on compilation For Friends (Audio coproduction Dregs/Tomlab), new-yorkais it Lineland delivers its first Pavillon album for the fantastic Audio Portland cement label Dregs. House is, with the image of its small pocket designed by E*Rock, the musical description of an interior swarming and effervescent world. With the instar of the other productions of the label which lodges it, the music of Lineland (Malcolm Felder, resident with Queens - NYC) use of electronic and acoustic sources, gathered on computer; it is soft, generous, at the same time poppy and experimental. The structures and textures are worked, they carry in them this happy medium between the accessible one and the mysterious one, the synthetic one and the naive one, robotics and the spontaneous one. In the counting rhymes with the moods varied from that which was beater for Sybarite for maximum Scene Of A Crime, some guitars, low and of the Casio keyboards are the principal melody actors, whereas thousands of details (rhythmic, rattling, broken boxes, rusted springs...) constitute the wobbly and exaltés tempos. Other noises (planes, children...) are also of the part. With this first opus of Lineland, Audio Dregs still gratifiée us of an intimate and gracious second reading of the marvellous one.

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, imagining bubbles and popping cork sounds - at least it seemed to me, but I guess Bacchus genetically modified me in a previous life, Malcolm Felder's CD is naive electronica entertainment which 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 with the best Audio Dregs release from 2003, Lineland manipulates sounds and he pre-occupies your expectation to fulfill it with either gritty beauties or with wonderful twitches. 'Pavillion' is only Malcolm Fedler's first album yet 'Pavillion' is a parallel surprise.
