Product Description

Amazon.com's Best of 1998

In a year that saw the release of many fabulous archival 78s and field recordings, it's great to hear music that creates new, vibrant art from similar, contemporary source material. With Dok, Oval music ceases to be about manipulating existing CDs and instead is made from the manipulation of field/travel recordings by Tokyo-based artist Christophe Charles. Markus Popp's software does some pretty, narcoleptic, nifty things to the source material, recordings of bells heard in public spaces throughout the world. --Mike McGonigal


From Amazon.com

A collaborative experiment between Oval's Markus Popp (he of Berlin) and academic sound-seeker Christophe Charles (he of Tokyo), Dok examines the relationship between space and structure at its most fundamental crux. On previous releases Oval proved themselves the Christian Marclay of the digital age; manually "treating" compact discs with scratches and cuts, then documenting and manipulating the naturally occurring results. On Dok Popp puts this modus operandi to a polarizing test. Rather than using linear, rhythmically constructed music as his sound source, he draws on a series of Charles's field recordings of bell sounds--almost entirely devoid of structure or rhythm--from around the world. Popp's intention here is to present the Oval aesthetic as a fluid, adaptable means to a consistently musical end. The result, while less melodic than previous Oval offerings, maintains the sublime appeal of an underwater dream. Dok ambitiously asks us to reassess the parameters of music itself, but theory and practice rarely find such gorgeous intersection. --Matt Hanks

5.0 out of 5 stars 思い出と想い出と。, 2007/4/20
日差しが照りつける夏、いつも通り
静かな化学準備室に入ると、
そこは洗浄機の不思議な音に満たされていて、
僕は其処を
生活感と非日常感が同居してる異空間だと信じてた。
其処に一歩足を踏み入れた時のふとした瞬間、
それがこのアルバムだ。

僕はきっと、ずっとあの場所を好きでいるだろう。
今は当時の先生はどれ位残っているだろうか。

5.0 out of 5 stars 浮遊的音響, 2008/6/9
個人的なイメージとしては宇宙のような闇ではなく、
白い空間に「ポッ」と急に取り残される感じがします。
レビュアーの方も言ってますがまさに異空間。
8,VITRA DESKなど冒頭から急に体が空間に投げ出され
永遠の浮遊的漂流をしているような感覚になります。
静かで感情を排した曲が多いので気に入っています。

4.0 out of 5 stars 少し地味すぎか, 2008/4/24
By マティス - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
傑作94diskont等に比べるとやや地味な印象でOvalの作品としてはイマイチ印象が残らない。二人の共同作業が互いの持ち味を相殺してしまった感じだ。次の作品では急激に攻撃的な作風にシフトするので、やはりこの路線は限界が来ていたのかもしれない。
