Notes.<\/strong>
\nDavid Evans has created a refrain for the Australian home past and present on his second solo album Domestic Cinema<\/em>. Alongside Evans\u2019s trademark use of old manual typewriters and drumkit, the album was made from \u2018field recordings in the home\u2019 coupled with recordings of telephone exchange machinery at Melbourne\u2019s Telecommunications Museum which has been used to connect calls all over Australia during the last 100 years.
\nEvans has taken sounds common to many homes \u2013 microwaves ovens, fans, electric toothbrushes, food processors, electric razors, bikes, hair dryers, frying pans, kettles \u2013 alongside recordings of various telephone exchanges, dial tones, ringer machines, selector switches, Morse keys, teletype and telex machines from the Telecommunications Museum, and combined these with typewriters, drumkit and some more \u2018conventional\u2019 instruments such as bass, harmonium and auto-harp, to create a unique sound collage.\ufffc
\nMess + Noise: Track-By-Track by David Evans<\/a>
\n\u201cpart ethereal soundtrack, part ambient electronica, reminiscent in places of the music of minimal artists such as Brian Eno\u201d<\/em>
\nSydney Morning Herald<\/a>\u00a0 (interview<\/em>)
\n\u201cMouse clicks, whirring machines, brooms, typewriters, whipper snippers \u2013 everything is ripe for creating impending doom. The sheer tenacity of Evans to work these \u201cfound sounds\u201d into his incestuous beats and explorations is commendable \u2013 the fact that Domestic Cinema is so captivating is a minor triumph.\u201d
\nSonic Masala<\/a><\/em>
\n\u201cBeyond the context, musically there\u2019s a lot to consider here. For me though it\u2019s the tonal nuances which generate the most interest, like the gentle flow of Upswing Spiral which feels like an ancient loop by German innovators Can; lulling, before evolving into a burst of primal drums, then dropping back into a seething, summery hum.\u201d<\/em>
\nCyclic Defrost<\/a>
\n\u201ca\u00a0series of light, neat soundscapes that are a joyous celebration of all things percussive, while avoiding the aimless clatter that often beleaguers avant-garde drumming\u201d

\n\ufffcDomestic Cinema<\/em> is the follow-up to Evans\u2019s 2011 solo debut Internal Temporal Order<\/em>\u00a0(Sensory Projects), described as \u201ca sparse mesmerising work\u2026beautiful music that defies categorisation\u201d (Inpress) and \u201ca tricky premise that delivered an album that\u2019s pure and warm rather than mechanical and cold\u201d (Mess+Noise) where \u201cEvans ventured out into a dry and inhospitable audio phonic desert and despite all odds found water\u201d (TwoThousand).<\/p>\n
