Whereas violet light resides at the short-wavelength end of the visible spectrum, Violet sound projects outwards beyond the audio spectrum; from Minimalism and near-silence to full-on tonal Brutalism. »Violet Ray Gas & The Playback Singers« creates a personal soundtrack to Futurist and Avant Guard cinema, filled with clipped foreign voices, the surface noise of old vinyl acetates and film projector hum. Seemingly familiar ethnic melodies decay and drone, with subtle turns of well-crafted and honed vision. Not unlike great film art, all composition leads to that awkward moment of dumbstruck awe upon completion, bathed in the deafening silence before one, then several, and finally thunderous audience applause bursts forth. That collective moment wherein the mind seeks to process the full range of aesthetic and emotional experience laid out before it: bewilderment to recognition, disruption to blissfulness, but never indifference or ambivalence. You are now changed from this experience and exposure. Roll credits.
