TOUCHING EXTREMES (JUNE 2006)
The thin line between acoustic pollution and insightful exploration is easy to
trespass, yet Overheard And Rendered is one of the finest compilations of
unprocessed field recordings in recent times. Environmental sounds have a
vocabulary of their own, but it's the composer/soundscaper who applies the
necessary touches to transform common hearing in artistic sensitiveness. Focus
and perspective are fundamental in all of these five pieces, which exploit the
attributes of simple elements and everyday's objects but also disguised
monstrosities: Pali Meursault's creation for power units and air extractors in
Budapest's railway station has some impressive sinister buzz which one would
never notice while traveling. And what about the ever-emotional ship horns
echoing in Perri Lynch's track? What this listener means is that by isolating a
sound - or a series of sounds - from its original context, we can appreciate a whole
new aural dimension that is the key to a better appreciation of our own reality as
perceptive human beings. Or - as Emmanuel Mieville calls it in the liner notes -
"oscillate from microcosm to macrocosm" (and vice versa) will allow to better
develop a personal discipline that must necessarily include a change of attitude
towards our surroundings. (Massimo Ricci)

SMALLFISH (AUGUST 2006)
A wonderful 5 track CD with pieces contributed by Maggi Payne, Pali Meursault,
Christophe Havard, Perri Lynch and Emmanuel Mieville. Mainly constructed from
field / location recordings, it's a fascinating document revealing a wealth of
differing production techniques. From Payne's completely untreated sounds which
are free from layering or any type of processing, through to a more constructed
and arranged sound from the other artists. An interesting narrative exists within
each piece and, once again, and/OAR proves itself to be an innovative and
thoroughly excellent label. Recommended. (Mike Oliver)
