Every sound is used here as it was recorded with no electronic effects or processing
except for dynamics. Some sounds result from acoustic combinations of other
sounds." (Monotype Records)
""The title Anatomy Of Inner Place hints that Monteiro might be continuing his bodily
self-examination on this MonotypeRec release but, in fact, the recording is an
exploration of his domestic environment, with every sound source originating from
home and used as it was recorded with no electronic effects or processing except for
dynamics. No identification of origins is provided for the four untitled sections so the
listener can only speculate as to what's producing a specific sound. For all one
knows, it's the rhythmic whirr of a fridge that appears in part one, and the vaporous
flow of amplified steam that accounts for the billowing drone and muffled blasts in
part two. A consistent alternation between episodes of high-volume intensity and
microsound simmer characterizes part three while insectile thrum rises above steely
emissions in part four. To Monteiro's credit, he shapes his 'industrial drone' material
with care and resists the impulse to lacerate the listener with the type of
ear-shredding moments to which less disciplined practitioners might fall prey."
