Son Of Clay - Two Abstract Painting (CD/LP)
label . mitek
release date . april 2005

Two Abstract Paintings consists of a 46 minute piece divided into two parts. The piece is a poetic soundscape, carefully constructed of microscopic pieces, made up almost entirely of the recorded sounds of things like dry leaves, bits of wood, paper and dust -- things that can hardly even be called things, mere particles of matter, most of them on the verge of falling apart.

Son of Clay/Andreas Bertilsson turns matter into material, treating each of his recordings with utmost care and minutely crafting them into a vibrant mesh, a still life that is by no means still, an anthology of very small things that is alive with crackling, sparkling, shimmering beauty.

As a visual counterpoint, the booklet holds a collection of twenty black and white photograms, portraits of the very same bits and pieces that the music is made of -- twenty individual bits of dust, singled out against nothingness, their shadows frozen into paper by means of 0.8 seconds of light.
