CPMSubtree CD

If you pay close attention to the global experimental underground, you should already be familiar with David Burraston AKA Noyzelab, a producer, synthesizer maker, sound designer and collaborator whose CV includes joint works with such luminaries as Aphex Twin and former Cabaret Voltaire member Chris Watson. Even so, the Australia-based experimentalist is hardly widely known, though this album on ROHS should help with that. Made up of five impossible-to-describe pieces, CPMSubtree sees Burraston combine creepy, otherworldly ambient sounds with unsettling modular melodies, droning electronics and the kind of foreboding synthesizer weirdness that was once the preserve of EMS Synthi-sporting academic experimentalists and the pioneering BBC Radiophonic Workshop.
