sound works by marc mcnulty

Necunoscut by Marc McNulty necunoscut,  is a project working with tiny pieces of sound, less than 100 milliseconds each. as the tracks evolve the sounds reach points of attrition, then obliterate one another; this cycle repeats until there is no signal left in the system. all manipulations were chosen by personal perception, not by algorithms.

"Powdered Iron Rods is McNulty's 2nd release, but the first to use his real name. Having used the name Photophobia, his first CD, titled Cathepsin was released on Isomorphic/USA in '96. Reviewers described it as an excellent dark ambient/isolationist work. Marc McNulty, who has worked nearly two years on his new release, describes these new pieces as 'electro/acoustic soundscapes created with elements from our pre-atomic days.' There are no samplers and no computers used for these recordings. The only soundsources have been communication receivers, selfbuilt devices, filters and instruments. Compared to his first release, the pieces are not that extended and droney, but far more subtle and personal. 'McNulty has created a powerful album of dark and strange acoustical elements. Evocative and haunting, a requiem for the post-atomic society - a soundtrack to armaggedon.' -- Frans DeWaard/Vital. The first edition of this CD comes in a special metal box that is numbered and limited to 500 copies." The CD is available at Forced Exposure.
