Rough Trade Records are excited to announce the release of 'XI versions of Black Noise' by Pantha Du Prince, an album of reworkings of tracks originally on his album 'Black Noise' by friends and contemporaries including amongst others Animal Collective, Moritz Von Oswald, Four Tet, Efdemin and North American pioneer Hyroglyphic Being.
Pantha Du Prince, who lives in Berlin and Paris, claims: music slumbers in all matter; any sound, even silence, is already music.
The mission, then, must be to render audible what is unheard and unheard of: black noise, a frequency that is inaudible to man. Black noise often presages natural disasters, earthquakes or floods; only some animals perceive this “calm before the storm.” Black noise is something archaic and earthy. The music on Black Noise balances precariously on the slippery threshold between art and nature, between techno and folklore, which lends it a certain spectral and intangible aspect. The prelude to recording the album included a visit to the Swiss Alps to record sounds and next to where he was staying was a huge pile of debris, the remnants of a huge landslide that had buried an entire village. This inspired the concept of the album, with the idea that 'Black Noise' is something of a sonic warning heard before momentous natural events.
