Mahlon Hoard slicnaton

Trio slicnaton- Glinkowski Slaton Sparacino

Slicnaton uses improvisation to create drone like music, with lots of attention for the smaller details in the music, the smaller electronic particles. Clarinets and violin take the leading part, but things are cleverly mixed together. This is not a static form of drone music, but sounds swirl around; around eachother, around the room. Moving in and out the mix making things organic and atmospheric. A bit of modern classical touches thrown in, make this altogether quite a pleasant CD. Vital Weekly 633 (FdW)

The glitches of equipment misuse are sampled and manipulated into musical content evolving into improvised composition. Using no prerecorded samples slicnaton improvises layers of electronically generated sounds which are looped forming the basis of each piece. Each performance is a one of a kind music event. The listener should feel free to pay attention to each detail or relax and enjoy the performance as ambiance.
