And we have a lift off! That's the first impression I got when I heard the track on this nicely packaged credit card sized CDR.
A noisy track it is; it consists of white noise and after a while you take off just like being in a rocket to outer space. And gettin' into space only takes 4.56 minutes.
After a while it gets a little monotone. A little bit more diversion I would have appreciated.
The CDR comes in a little envelope. The inner sleeve has beautiful artwork by Marcel Herms. Overall a nice release.

This is the second card-sized CDR that I own, and to be honest, I don't quie understand what the point of this format is. 3" disc wouldn't take much more space and I've also heard horror stories about card cds breaking in cd-players. Well, at least you won't be bored with ca. 5-minute playing time. This subtropical branch of otherwise Norwegian Origami collective presents one track of static low-end noise rumble and some high-pitched sounds on top of that. Ok noise, but certainly nothing special. Great artwork and sticky laminated (or whatever) cover.

To me, this is what Noise should be all about. A sheer wall of fierce static thundering indifferently and imposingly across the speakers. Over this a modulation of higher-end frequency, hissing and scarifiying. This shows that despite a lot of nonsense spoken about Noise, it's the simplest ideas that are often the best. No attempt to be blindingly origional (it in fact sounds very similar to Whitehouse's "Movement 2000"), no attempt to be exceedingly clever; just kicking out the jams and rocking. A great pity it's such a short track.

Here's one brief track of experimental noise from another project of Jorge Castro, probably best know for his work with Cornucopia. This piece contains a little bit of subtle distortion with some rising and falling whirrs that sound almost like airplane engines or something like that. There's one quick break in the opening rhythm that might be a loop point, which breaks up the flow a little bit, but I can live with that since it doesn't sound like a mistake or anything of that nature. The "airplane engine" types of sounds are much less interesting to me than the vibrating waves of light distortion, but those surging waves do drive the piece for most of its entirety. The sound quality is a little one-sided with midrange, there's no great bite of high-end or thick bass in the lower registers, but the end result sounds pretty good, I'm not necessarily bothered by that.
The "business card" CD-R comes in a black and white sleeve that looks to have been printed from a home printer and coated with shellac or something, with an illustration fitting of the title on the inside cover. That's about it. An incredibly brief release, and one that leaves a little something to be desired, but an interesting introduction to the project for my ears. I wouldn't be opposed to checking out more to get a better idea of what Origami Subtropika is all about.
