A Swede Johan Wieslander specializes in low level music; he makes it from sound waves, obtained from the rough sources such as recorded or produced digital signals. He delved into this affair in 1994 and his track was included into a Mille-Plateaux mp3 compilation in 2001. Now Johan is very interested in experimental minimalism. So, this interest found an outcome in an hour of one of the most interesting net-releases.The music is absolutely naked. Its skin and flesh were tore off so as some of the most important internals. And it's still living, though with its own oddities, but inexpressibly lively. I think there were just few musicians who succeeded in making almost every sound arresting while never transgressing the bounds of passionless radio electronics and unfriendly cold post-sounding. Among them was Pan Sonic, for example.
