| Hello Again (from Mixposure - Review of the song Artificial Reprise) "Love what you are doing here, its fidgety, tense and dramatically melodic at points. The sound is very precise as well, never meandering into a bad place. Good stuff, drt" ******************************************************************************** "Keep up the good work!" - HEADSTONE (http://www.soundclick.com/headstone) ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** Great
One! (from Mixposure
- Review
of the song Space Train) ******************************************************************************** Another Great Track (from Mixposure - Review of the song Space Train "Once again, you amaze and astound with your looping prowess. The percussion adds just he right ambience to your sonic explorations...What a cool atmospheric piece of music." - Valkir ******************************************************************************** Crystal Clear (from Mixposure - Review of the song Space Train "Wow! i love the sound of that guitar!" - Fiddlerblue ******************************************************************************** Sweet Man! (from Mixposure - Review of the song Space Train I'm LOVING this tune... another HIGH-END talent joins in th' MIX! & it's not just the splendid guitar, but also the percussion that will hold the listener spellbound. A most calming effect on the psyche, & instant recognition by the ear (of true talent). I give this one a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, as well as a Zzaj "PICK"! - Zzaj Productions ******************************************************************************** ;o) (from Mixposure - Review of the song Space Train "There's some tension in the almost droning acoustic guitar. The tension is amplified by those jungle drums. I can't really see a space train to this. More like a jungle. A group of 18th century discoverers are sailing through a river in the jungle for the first time. The mood onboard is relaxed, and one of the crewman is playing guitar. But there's more, various unplacable drum sounds are coming from the dence forest. A scene like that. A shriek from an unkown beast. And again. Thats a flute isn't it ? Cool sound. Another shriek and another shriek, maybe the crew gets a little scary now, what kind of bird is this ? hehe.5:14 more scary effects maybe it's becoming night. Those sounds remind me of night anyway." - Treeman ******************************************************************************** Australopitecus!! (from Mixposure - Review of the song Space Train "This song is exotic. nice ostinatto and when the guitar appears...ghosts...and voices...solos." - Travalinqua ******************************************************************************** Nice (from Mixposure - Review of the song Swim "Wierd, melodic and rythmnic as it is it captured my attention right away. That high bleep isn't disturbing but it's a wierd element to combine with that relaxing acoustic guitar jingle's that are heard in the back. Maybe turn down the volume of that sound a bit. The drumming is mystic, and seems to fade in and out at random times, adding little crescendo's. I think this track slowly intesifies as it progresses and I'm glad the acoustic guitar part is louder now. Very relaxing, chilling out. This track writes a story in my mind about me relaxing in the sun, smoking a pure joint ( no tabacco, that sucks !), near the sea. When the THC starts to take it's effect, there's a car who is driving back and I'm hearing this '' reverse alarm '' bigger cars usually have. Trippy & warm ( sand ). I'm listening it again. And again." - Treeman ******************************************************************************** Hypnotic (from Mixposure - Review of the song Swim "That repeating high acoustic chord is like a clock ticking, hypnotic and pulsing, the percussion as always is just awesome. I love the patterns you play over this...melodic and a nice structure. Don't know why you called this swim but no matter, it is a pleasing piece." - Valkir ******************************************************************************** The Natural Call (from Mixposure - Review of the song Swim "Well, a neat piece of acoustic device and oriented drum, bells, etc. I feel the flow of the melody here and there like the humble bees. Swinging the chords of the melody like searching for the honey desperately. Next, I feel the ease of the stream, the water padding down the path and seeking the place for its final destination. Wow, this is indeed the flow of the nature. Smooth and easy ride that I almost closed my eye to enjoy the sensational mood, but I can't coz I was typing the review at the same time. No doubt is quite repetitive according to Valkir, I agreed but I still find it interesting compared to other silly looping stuff somewhere." - Piperon ******************************************************************************** Very Fresh Work (from Mixposure - Review of the song Swim "I am in a very comfortable atmosphere with this good music. Time flows slowly. When young, it seems to be the seen scenery of the early morning of summer. The percussion became quiet and my ear concentrated the performance of a guitar. It is a very fresh work. Great!!" - FlawTips ******************************************************************************** "The self-titled Krispen Hartung Vincent Miresse: Live at the Kulture Klatsch is a CD of spontaneous compositions supposedly recorded live at the Kulture Klatsch on two different occasions. "Supposedly" because there is not a trace of audience, not even a spoon falling to the floor, which is a shame because I believe that audience response would heighten the sense of spontaneity. The music here is a soundscape for cosmic travel by two guys who improvise with each other. Krispen Hartung's acoustic guitar is looped (an electronic process by which rhythms and lines repeat themselves), and this repetition threads the astral tapestry while Vincent Miresse adds aural colors with a variety of instruments: didgeridoo, chimes, dumbek, udu and singing bowl. There are no tangible melodies here, and despite the use of ethnic instruments, there are no earth rhythms. This is not meditative or spiritual fare--it is a study in repetition and abstract wandering (not a slur, as I believe that this is their intent). Of the eight titles which clock in at 79:34, I would have chosen "Saga of the Lord Abstractomondo" to define and give the CD a title." - Larry Conklin of the Boise Weekly |

Reviews Review of Krispen Hartung & Vincent Miresse's "Tiny Monsters Ex Nihilo" "Love live improvized music because I believe it's the purest form of inspiration. The results are usually very interesting, but the most fun is while making it. This is certainly experimental and reminding me of souncscapish material, but it could also be the buildup to something else. I like those effects on the acoustic guitar. So far the mood is rather strange because of various percussion like effects that fade through the music and the guitar itself. The song never seems to really start and sticks to the soundscape like sound. 3:01 suddenly a didgeridoo fades in,great instrument and I play it myself. 3:19 the bass of the bass guitar is too hollow but it's gone again. The didgeridoo really makes this piece even wierder. yeah this song has some problems with bass but overall production is fine. I know from experience live tracks are harder to produce and master then other tracks (logical in fact ). 5:33 some really nice FX work strange and relaxing. Are that bongo´s ? hehe. I agree with the genre choice here, this is what experimental world music sounds like ^_^ . Anyways nice track, maybe some poetry reading would be a nice add. Listen to Rotcod Zzaj's work if you find the time, it did remind me a little of this." - Treeman " Space Floater. Kris, This is an awesome piece and should Have an edited down version to submit for documentary type use. It is very nicely refrained and easy. Do more of this!! - Steve Fulton (Boise, Idaho) "Hey this is great visual stuff, lots of space. Nothing overdone, very mind bending, keeps me hanging on every note. Really dig the echoplex twisting and turning of your lines, I use a Electrix Repeater, but mainly for flushing out ideas, never thought of it as an instrument. The carefully placed percussion sounds and digi all make for an enjoyable experience." - Bobby Wayne "THE AMBIENTIC INSTRUMENTALIST! Very cool and spacious soundscape in this revolutional and creative track. I heard some tiny tinke twist with the guitar. Awesome skill and love the ambientic production. The effects are superb and the playful skills of Krispen Hartung is indeed challenging and professional. The A class of ambientic instrumentalist, beautifully crafted with a dynamite twist atmosphere. Very haunting and very interesting piece of experimental track." - Piperon "Great
looping. The best thing about this kind of performance is the twists and turns.
you keep it on track though, even on the wide turns. your looping stays interesting
too! evolving just enough before the moment of too much repitition.i'm a big fan
of this stuff and do a bit of it myself. The didgeridoo is a good foil to your
playing as well and moves the vibe along nicely" - mrbotty
