Nils Oh.. how much I love this album. It's like an emergency exit when everything get's too hectic, too dark and you need something to catch you in mid air, before you hit the floor

ryan Like Alva Noto, or Dntel, or SAW2-era Aphex Twin, in their quieter moments at home alone in the studio. Favorite track: Spiff.

about

Frame is the much anticipated follow up release to last year's debut Optimal.LP, a cd which caused quite a bit of critical stir as a very impressive and original work for a new artist. Dan Abrams (aka: Shuttle358) seamlessly blends stark textures/drones with digital disfunction. clicks, skips and tiny mechanised rhythms intertwine in hypnotic form that Abrams allows to evolve in a very organic way.

Frame picks up where Optimal.LP" left off. a bit more distant with excursions into deeper realms of Abrams' signature skittish minimalist rhythmic work.

Frame includes a video, shot by Abrams himself, in DVCAM for the title of the album. It is available on the cd in quicktime format as well as a separate high-res VHS release. The use of movement and abstracted forms along with a subtle color palatte of whites, blues and yellows is a perfect visual accompanyment to the fragile rhythms of the soundtrack.

Dan Abrams/Shuttle358:
"If you put an empty frame against a blank wall, you suddenly notice the the color, the patterns, the imperfections in the plaster. The frame is like a window of perception. It takes the wall outside time. The frame draws attention to what is within it - it magnifies it, you focus on it, it begins to symbolize the whole wall."

Very expressive. This album is finely crafted with a nice amount of detail but does not overwhelm with too many layers or effects. Scott

Taylor Deupree's surreptitiously complex ambient compositions are prickly and calming all at once. "Fallen" is sparkling, tender and organic warmth for tired ears and bones. ajpoet

The learning of how to become entirely empty. Premeditations of snow. We remain for a while inside this broken light because we are only beginning to see. _blackzodiac

I love this series because it is so interesting and the first 3 stages are nice to listen to for studying. The music is sad and happy, distorted in parts but real throughout. keenan_bruce
