Our dear friend Y’ng-Yin Siew, who composes under the moniker Fallen Sun, offers a new album that presents a blistering wall of noise complemented by electroacoustic music. This work embodies organized, well-composed chaos. From her Bandcamp site:
“Fallen Sun, as the name itself alludes to, is a rather more intense and explosive affair, however. As with the debut, the sonics are jagged and abrasive as they collide into each other or assume meta-rhythmic forms which flutter violently into torrents of searing lava that are utterly unforgiving as they burn into the very being of the listener. Formed from a pedal noise set-up with the exception of one track which was created with Eurorack, the seven pieces successfully apply new meaning to a genre that’s already gone a long way since the likes of Incapacitants, Merzbow and Masonna helped render it as one to be considered seriously. While it is true that such music (and, please, let’s consider it thus) first mapped itself via the likes of Whitehouse, Non, Ramleh, SPK, Consumer Electronics and so on, or even arguably Lou Reed’s ‘Metal Machine Music’ album, its reach has traversed far and wide over the decades since, both globally and with respect to an understanding of composition from more academic masters such as Xenakis.“
