L.I.E.S. Records founder
Ron Morelli
departs the club to investigate atavistic ambient themes in his fourth solo LP and debut for the Paris-based Collapsing Market. For the first time on record, Morelli mostly mutes his drum track channels and allows his sounds to freely float in imagined air. In the process he crisply reveals a latent, introspective side to his music that's been missing or occluded by noise in his clutch of grubby sores issued by Hospital Productions since 2013 -- back when he changed his address from Brooklyn, NYC to the heart of the Parisian electronic music scene. As such the eight bony diffusions of
Man Walks The Earth
mark distance travelled from the gobs of 2013's
Spit
(HOS 407CD/LP), documenting a change of mindset from grizzled and paranoid to a more soberly contemplative and drily poetic expression of self. Composed during 2015-2018, the eight liminal zones of
Man Walks The Earth
see Morelli switch out immediacy and brashness for a more considered long view of electronic music. In key with his previous work it's a regression of sorts, but this time reaching back beyond industrial music to a primordial sound recalling
Tod Dockstader
dabbling at the GRM in "A Long Walk At Night", or
Laurie Spiegel
glimpsing unseen worlds in "Stone Tools", while album opener "Fear Upon Seeing His Reflection In The Lake" hearkens back to
Delia Derbyshire
and
Daphne Oram
's etheric, Radiophonic abstractions, and the parting beauty "The Sun Beats Stronger As Each Day Passes" recalls the enigmatic appeal of
Chris Marker
's sci-fi soundtrack for
La Jetée
(1962) as much as
Jeff Mills
' recent astral excursions. Following Collapsing Market's archival issue of Iranian classical music, iridescent electronics by
Ssaliva
, and the amorphous environments of
Metta World Peace
's
Zanclean
, Morelli's new album presents a compelling perspective on the binds between socio-economics and cultural aesthetics that's reflected in the LP's sleeve art, Morelli's own photo taken from the 86th floor of One World Trade Center, New York, detached and reframed by
Ethan Assouline
, characterizing the basic human will to rebuild, only to destroy again.
