Austrian electroacoustic trio Radian (keyboardist Stefan Nemeth, bassist John Norman, drummer/vibraphonist Martin Brandlmayr)
documented the studio technique of the "fin de siecle" on their
instrumental tour de force TG11 (Rhiz, 2000).
Their compositions vivisect
glitch electronica, post-rock and digital processing
with surgical precision. The most original aspect of their compendium is
perhaps the way they both de-emphasizing and re-contextualize the dissonant
and polyrhythmic components of an abstract soundscape.
The rhythm section displayed an uncanny ear for molding bodily counterparts
to ethereal, ghostly music (in a manner frequently reminiscent of both jazz and atonal music).
Rec.extern (Thrill Jockey, 2002) was equally cerebral and microscopic,
albeit quite mellower,
but Juxtaposition (Thrill Jockey, 2004) sounded, by comparison,
trivial and indulgent.
Brandlmayr is also active in Trapist.
