Magicicada
is the musical life of Atlanta musician/sound designer/photographer,
Christopher White. “Everyone is Everyone” is
an organic, experimental work that blends traditional, as well
as folk and eastern, instruments with found objects, samplers
and field recordings to create a work that varies from delicate,
cinematic soundscapes to harsh electronic environments. The instrumentation
includes (but is not limited to): pump organ, voice, contact
mics on faulty electrical lines, melodica, toys, iron balls rolling
on wooden floors, accordion, cellophane, air cans, tape decks
for the blind, guitar, shruti box, MARTA (Atlanta’s public
transit), synths, oven door (percussion,) cellos, zurna, paper,
frogs in the backyard, and the remains of Hurricane Denis shaking
the roof. The Arigato-Pak style covers are beautifully
printed by Stumptown
Printers on (peacepunk approved!) 100% recycled , Environment
120# cover. Cover images: Outside :: Inside :: Liner
Notes
"As many people as possible should experience
his single-mindedly self-willed experimental-ambient sounds." -
laut.de (Germany)
"Everyone is Everyone" is variegated, brisk
and well crafted, a teapot of deviated psychedelia, rancid electronica
and sounds coming from forgotten offshoots of Ed Wood's "Plan
9 from outer space", all of the above floating in a broth
of Biota and Zoviet France with exhausted batteries.White lets
us share some of his fun - and the drones of "Cause" are
blood-icing in their beauty." - Touching Extremes (Italy)
"The field recordings, otherworldy sounds and
drones, and cinematic terrain take this into a kind of Sun City
Girls meets Sunroof! territory. Quite dreamy and beautiful." – Crucialblast.net
"Strange, unsettling, but oddly optimistic, it's
the musical equivalent of a Bruce Conner sculpture."-Pop
Matters
"This is best described as 'outsider' music.
It moves along lines of improvised music, eastern and western
folk music, lo-fi singer songwriter stuff and minimalist patterns
on the cello, but never going to be anything close to being accessible:
there is a strong element of experimental music to it, but at
the same time things remain highly listenable. Great stuff."-Vital
Weekly
"With an organic approach to creation, these
eastern and folk influenced experimental works rival some of
the strangest electronic ambient out there - from drifting soundscapes
to meditative trances."-Just Add Noise Click here to purchase CD or Digital Download.
