Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whereas most writer-directors may obsess over script details prior to filming a nightmarish shocker, Dante Tomaselli\u2019s attention is on assembling a carnival of sounds that may inspire a film\u2019s images, but may not even materialize in the final sound mix. It\u2019s an unusual approach gives this first sonic draft of The Doll<\/strong> an impressionistic narrative with free-flowing drones, processed \/ reprocessed \/ effects, mangled remnants of dialogue, and looped music fragments which collectively seem to drag the listener into a murky chamber for 65 minutes.<\/p>\n

Unlike his prior CDs, The Doll <\/strong>isn\u2019t a concept album but an organic creature that breathes, and the density of material should provoke some intriguing subjective responses (especially in the dark). It doesn\u2019t matter what The Doll<\/strong> is about, but how the transformative sonics never rest, shifting and occasionally colliding, and morphing into rather hypnotic sound sculptures. The lurid quality of this sonic journey is a testament to Tomaselli\u2019s fastidiousness in marrying the common with the surreal.<\/p>\n

Note: Interviews with Dante Tomaselli from\u00a02014<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a02007<\/a>\u00a0are also available.<\/p>\n
