'REPEAT' REVIEW The Sound Projector - 2010 Some numerical structuring has been used on Matt Rösner’s Repeat (MIATERA 2009-002) LP, but that’s just the half of it. This Australian composer has made a superlative minimal release based on his observations of the environment of his home continent, using voices and instruments and some additional tones contributed by Adam Trainer, Greg Taw, and Alexander Wendt – who released the UK edition of this item on his 12X50 Recordings imprint. The side-long ‘Lattices’ displays the most concern with mathematical procedures for composition, being based on the so-called Fibonacci series. Very far from being just another boring piece of droney ambient electronica, Repeat is a solid and demanding listen; every sound on it feels refined, purified, and distilled like mountain water. 500 copies of this item; I have in my hands a copy of the luxury hand-numbered white vinyl edition on the Miatera label, which comes with an art print and an original drawing inserted. The Anne Berndt photo on the cover is so perfectly composed it’s good enough to be a still from an alternative version of Michael Snow’s Wavelength. A genuine art item.
