For listeners unaware of Holtkamp's solo efforts, most will have encountered him as half of the Brooklyn based duo Mountains (Thrill Jockey) -a project which has pushed musical boundaries for more than a decade. Voice Model wades effortlessly into this same ambitious territory, but focuses on the breadth of possibility activated by a narrow band of sonorities. Its two interrelated works, Scene One and Scene Two, feature Holtkamp on piano, modular synth, bowls, cymbals and processing, as well as contributions by Nina Mehta on Flute and Josh Millrod on trumpet. Both sides, though in clear conversation, weave autonomous worlds - collapsing the ground between the historic efforts of Groupe de Recherche Musicales (GRM), New Age, and contemporary avant-garde practice, while sculpting their own worlds of sonic potential and understanding. LP pressed on virgin vinyl, packaged in an uncoated stock jacket. Includes a post card with original artwork and free download coupon.
