Cezary Gapik - Anatomy Of Decay (CDr sampler)

”The Sum of Disappearing Sounds features a quartet of ambitious and long-form (between eleven and sixteen minutes) explorations of contrasting moods by Czestochowa, Poland-born Cezary Gapik. Ostensibly dark ambient in tone, his evocative sonic paintings also draw heavily upon the industrial and drone traditions. Though Gapik brings to his work influences extending back to Public Image Ltd., Throbbing Gristle, and Cabaret Voltaire, the instrumental pieces on the album obviously have more in common with the isolationist and industrial genres than post-punk. What most recommends the project, which Gapik produced using prepared instruments, field recordings, and computer-processed synthetic sounds, is that each of the four pieces presents a markedly different world and mood.

“Uncertainty” scatters fields of fluttering micro-organisms over a dense base of lustrous washes and drones in such a way that an overall sense of calm reigns. Far more unsettling by comparison is “The Gradual Loss of Elasticity,” which unfolds at the pitch of a mid-level, industrial-machine roar and generally suggests the activity of a writhing, combustible swarm of screeching noise and buzz-saw drones. A dozen minutes of grainy machine convulsions, “Idiomat” evokes either amplified geological data recordings taken from the earth’s innermost core or alien transmissions captured by NASA and amplified for analysis. At album’s end, “Still, No Beginning, and …Without End” plunges headlong into a blurry cauldron of viral sound for fifteen suffocating minutes until one feels incapable of extricating oneself from the black hole’s deathly pull. Gapik’s vision is dramatic and disturbing, and well-served by this disquieting collection.” - textura.org | March 2012

“Abstract Depressionism” is how Polish musician Cezary Gapik pegs his own aesthetic, which is mostly an apt description. The blessed out vapour trail of his “Uncertainty [#0522]” is a considerable detour from miserabilism, adopting much more of an angelic feel with the same stratospheric arcs of sinewy digital smear heard throughout Kompakt’s seminal Pop Ambient series. Here, snow-blindingly bright tones stream alongside tidal washes of white noise and a tumbling filigree of airborne sonic dust. ...” - <a href="http://www.thewire.co.uk/issues/337/"target="_blank">Jim Haynes / THE WIRE #337 | March 2012</a>

" ...  “Vanishing” is an EP, released by Entropy Records, that consists of two lethargic compositions. The first work #0476 [Vanishing] is full of abstract ambient sounds which float into higher dimensional space. After monotonic blend into prolific wholeness, sublime sounding evokes cathedral feeling. By progressively absorbing sine curves, Cezary constructs synthetic sound plenitude. Subtle disharmonized rotational surroundings prove his musical maturity. ..." - <a href="http://secretthirteen.org/cezary-gapik-contrast-i-vanishing/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Justinas Mikulskis / Secret Thirteen</a>

"... Marking his first publication on wax, ‘Contrast’ is a suitable title, since both sides of the vinyl showcase two opposing aesthetics. “#0473 [Tremor]” is a controlled torrent of pressurised noise that expands from a metallic rumble up to a searing blast of distorted electronics. Gapik’s noise begins to burn out, with smouldering embers and ashen grit trailing upon growling tones. Where this side matches the intensity of an early Emaciator or some of Daniel Menche’s more electronic releases, the B side is an entirely contemplative affair, as muffled tones ropple and shimmer out of nocturnal shadows into bioluminescent blooms. ..." - <a href="http://www.thewire.co.uk/issues/325/"target="_blank">Jim Haynes / THE WIRE #325 | March 2011</a>

“... Working shades of Kevin Drumm’s monolithic minimalism just past the twenty-minute mark ‘#0473 [Tremor]’ underpins layers of subtly shifting tones with a viscous low-end throb that relentlessly burrows its way inside your frontal lobes. Changing track with the aptly titled ‘#0458 [Drowsiness]’ things settle into a ghostly drift as hazy narcotic vapours and muffled glitches simultaneously seep from the grooves, lingering long and sleepy like Oval or Aphex Twin at their most ambient and ethereal. ...” - <a href="http://rock-a-rolla.com/main/?p=1605"target="_blank">Rock-A-Rolla #30 | February/March 2011</a>
