AUDNOYZ PROJECT VOL 3 NOTES

The relationship between message and medium, that is, the tools and materials used, is perhaps the element that has changed the most profoundly and with evolutionary implications of unusual proportions in the last decade. The implications are so profound, and as yet unprocessed, that in itself can be subject for artistic exploration. In Audnoyz Project Vol 3 we see all of this going on and more, while at the same time receiving a deeply satisfying musical experience with no pretensions. This is an album of pieces that takes us to the leading edge, while grounded in everything we know and understand. That is the essence of great art, and in a wrapping that could only have come out of the 21st century, and a truly talented musical mind.

Dr. Riz, September 2014
