The Wire #404, Soundcheck: „… treats field recordings as data recombined into a generative latticework of texture and harmonics, with multiple variations of the compositions. … Soft as snow noise tumbles out of the supple sinews of extended tones and glassy drones. … effective in channelling an existential vacancy through … pastoral drift.“

The project ( nula.cc ) is the brainchild of intermedia artist Lloyd Dunn, a founding member of the Tape-beatles, and editor of the zines PhotoStatic and Retrofuturism. It comprises sound works, photographs, travelogue essays and similar digital artifacts, which often reflect the artist’s frequent travels and esthetic thinking.
