Matt Rösner is a very different and original musician and so his debut album, Post, a very different and original listening experience. Full of unusually textured noises, Post creates a soundscape unlike any other. Rösner is launching his experimental new album at the Velvet Lounge tonight, Thursday September 23. LANI MARCUS reports.

Western Australian sound artist Matt Rösner (aka Pablo Dali) has released his new album for the UK label 12x50 Recordings. The six track CD incorporates synthesised microsounds and textural ambience, indicative of Rösner's surrounding environment and electronic creativity.

“Post is the first album that I have released so I am happy to be able to release it on a UK label,” Rösner says “ The album sounds quite digital, compared to my past compilation release; which was something that I was working on at the time. You can still hear the acoustic elements but they are hidden under thick layers of processing.

“I enjoyed the spontaneous nature of its creation. It was made in a focused two month period early this year. The virtual collaboration on the File_Sharing_Recycler track was enjoyable and challenging. It’s constructed from a two minute mp3 file made of sounds created by Si Cut.db, Wendt, Scheider TM and others.

With a very limited edition run, the album accentuates the handcrafted elements of Rösner's work. “The 12x50 label produces small runs of their releases to highlight the collectible nature of their sounds,” he explains. “The packaging and on disc visual component also add to this.

“The CD will be distributed online and through some boutique record stores in Europe. Hopefully when the first edition runs out the tracks will be available for download.”

Rösner’s live performances often document the growth of embryonic soundscapes generated within the performance space. The album follows this idea, opting out of fixed pre-composed compositions. The majority of the tracks on the album were mixed in realtime,” Rösner says, “basically like a live performance. My sets are always evolving and I like to feed of the audience and space, and I tried to capture this on Post. I don’t like having to many fixed elements in my music. I like it to sound more freeform.”
