David Toop on Fenn O'Berg's In Stereo
Tuesday, May 11. 2010
I was re-reading a copy of the Wire from earlier this year, and came across this ace grumpy review by David Toop of the recent Fenn O'Berg record In Stereo. Inspiring stuff, huh?
Aside from that, Toop has a new book on the way - Sinister Resonance - which sounds brilliant:
As if reading a map of hitherto unexplored territory, Sinister Resonance deciphers sounds and silences buried within the ghostly horrors of Arthur Machen, Shirley Jackson, Charles Dickens, M.R. James and Edgar Allen Poe, Dutch genre painting from Rembrandt to Vermeer, artists as diverse as Francis Bacon and Juan Munoz, and the writing of many modernist authors including Virginia Woolf, Samuel Beckett, and James Joyce.
