Mise en Scene: Shay Nassi's White_Line duet with Heribert Friedl

Tel-Aviv based experimental Sound Artists Shay Nassi aka “Mise en Scene” has teamed up with Austrian mainstay Heribert Friedl for a collaborative work on the White_Line label dedicated to musical Minimalism. Released on a stylish 8cm CD-R and comprising of one track per person (Heribert Friedl – “L.W.H”, Mise En Scene – “External Objects”), the album is part of the “Archisonics” series curated by White_Line’s Baz Nichols to establish a “critical discourse concerning the relationship between sound and architecture” (as befriended artist John Kannenberg put it) as seen through the eyes of respected colleagues. “Archisonics” is set to close in February of next year with yet another beautifully designed 100 copy-edition of a split between Andy Graydon and Richard Garet, but the latest installment by Nassi and Friedl should keep fans of microtonal music happy for some time to come. “Both artists take diametrically opposite approaches”, Nichols observed, “with Friedl using time-based contact mic recordings of his studio walls, creating brittle, textural layerings, whilst Mise En Scene’s Shay Nassi interprets the architecture of his home territory in sound.”
