Peter Thorson
Three Pieces

Fermenting away under the Unseen Micro Penguin imprint, Peter Thorson sets out his own tentative musical boundaries on this three piece release. The instrumentation is mostly digital, with electronic delays in the background that impede the flow of the music. Instead, Thorson uses the spatial disquiet to carefully plan his rhythmic behaviour. He gradually turns the volume up to overload the meter, playing three-note melodies on the top notes and tripping over the middle ones. This produces a naturally bouncing rhythm. But as the tempo increases, the planks that hold the notes in place wobble, producing a 'zappy' effect that looks like the notes are being hammered out in a grotty basement.
