Cem Güney: Puts Sound-Theories into "Praxis"

After years as a DJ and experimental Trumpet player, Cem Güney is entering a new phase of his colourful career by releasing his debut album on Portuguese label Cronica Electronica. Essentially a compendium of his sound work over the past two years, „Praxis“ collects nine pieces of delicate, otherwordly musique concrete within a web of astute impressions and imaginative associations. Güney has certainly injected a hearty dose of thought and conceptual brilliance into the album – a combination which has already led some to refer to him as one of the most interesting artists in his line of business. „I am beholden to the harmoniousness of two essential properties that maintains the forcefullness of a cognition space“, Cem summed up his aims for „Praxis“ in a concise and intellectually demanding ascription, „One, is a time-space continuum, stable in manner, having control over the undesired effects of duality and two, the synesthetic response, enrichining the transmutations from the abstract to the concrete. Synesthetic responses, via the many influences of sound contributes much as a motivational factor, and without the negative effects of duality-distractions so to speak-fluid impromtu motions (the essence of creation) can build up to constitute a language that becomes the basis of form. Praxis, is the experimentations of the various emergent forms, and its application into the concrete.“
