Reviews
From Vital Weekly.
Here is a true story: year and years ago I was living with my parents and I was playing, I think, 'Music For The Hashishins' by Vagina Dentata Organ at a pretty loud volume. My brother came rushing in and asked me whether I was brushing my teeth using a microphone. Maybe Phroq had a similar experience? All the sounds on 'Mâchoire' are 'manipulations of field recordings of my mouth (jaws, teeth, throat and breathing)'. Phroq is one of more intelligent noise makers I know. Unlike so many others, his work is pretty noisy, but also well-balanced. There is passages of softness and sheer inaudibility to encounter. Dynamics, the difference between soft and loud, play an important role. And this makes 'Mâchoire' into a highly enjoyable affair. Good noise.
