Sound for Spaces [Import]

Amazon.com
Robin Rimbaud, a.k.a. Scanner, normally builds music by raiding the airwaves, eavesdropping on cellular phones, and processing them into engaging voyeuristic soundscapes. But on Sound for Spaces the whole process is turned inside out; this album is a collection of environmental recordings, created specifically for clubs, art installations, and radio broadcasts. While his work normally revolves around the fuzzy confessions and background noise of the airwaves, these pieces use digital noise, spoken word, and found sounds to create (rather than replicate) sonic environments. Depending on its function, the music ranges from deliberate and focused ("Documenta X," "Incarceration") to loose and improvisational ("Slow Motion," "Invisible Choirs"). Sound for Spaces is a fascinating listen that, unlike most experimental music, is enjoyable without a thorough reading of the liner notes. --Matthew Corwine

hypnotic yet melodic.......2007-05-10

one song is reminiscent of an instrumental version of All I want is you by U2... Can become repetitive over time...

The Spaces You Forgot to Listen In.......2005-03-29

If you were dreaming and driving at night with someone you love, this album is what you would hear on the wind.

We've got access finally to a lot of independent, new music. This is a time to explore and if you're up for it, anything by Lanterna (Henry Frayne is the key individual) is worth the time and the money. Highways is the latest incarnation of this talented musician's sonic mind. I listen to Highways in the early morning and sometimes driving by myself at night. This is definitely music to listen to by yourself. It is music for the soul--jangly guitar, acoustic rhythms, textured drums, poetic vibrations, and ambient sounds...even an intentional few minutes of silence in there on the title track for those of us who pay attention--and a payoff afterwards...kind of an untitled new composition.

Word is that Lanterna's coming out with a new album sometime in the summer so pay attention. Highways is a great jumping point for the uninitiated though. Elm Street is still my favorite, but I'm really looking forward to the next edition. Stay tuned.

Henry Frayne gives us more luminescent guitarscapes.......2004-03-02

An hour with Henry Frayne, creator of music under the band name Lanterna, is a little like an hour of exploring the ocean depths or the vast reaches of space. He creates sonic pictures of the mind with his lingering, layered electric guitar chords and atmospheric melodies. The leadoff track, "Clear Blue," is just the latest fine example of Mr. Frayne's instrumental art. It shimmers with a kind of subliminal beauty, made by echoing sustained guitar tones that could be described as "ambient," but are best appreciated without concern for category. The CD is called Highways, and listening to its nine tracks is indeed something like a journey along the back roads, sometimes in contemplation and sometimes in sheer enjoyment. On this fourth Lanterna disc, the trend continues (begun on the Sands CD) of mixing in more of a rock feeling with some of the songs. This time it's on the Metheny-esque "Brooklyn" and especially on "Brightness," which features some David Gilmour-like choppy electric guitar chords.

As much of a huge Lanterna fan as I am, I'm a little sad to hear some signs of stagnation on Highways. A song such as "Canyons," a gentle acoustic-electric number that never really goes anywhere, makes me wonder if Henry has taken this particular "instrumental themes" thing about as far as it'll go. I hope not, because I'm still prepared to travel along with him for awhile longer.
