If sound could travel through a vacuum, and we could eavesdrop on black holes at unimaginable distances away, what would it sound like? These deep magnetic hums and harmonically charged solar winds are a fascinating basis for speculation.
The occasion of possibility runs through Relic Radiation. It is all backdrops and layers, hints of the emotive and the distant. Confronting the classical with what is new, looking for an expressive space. Melancholy, not melancholy. Contemplation on a midnight blizzard. Dust motes in a sunbeam. Sand dunes and microwaves. Ever since 2018 and the release of his first solo album, Ben Bertrand has been developing his own interpretation of the bass clarinet as an instrument of the avant-garde. Touching upon ambient and cosmic as well as earthy sceneries, his music is a gentle paradox come to life. Let go of explicit pleasantries, Relic Radiation is the polymathic interpretation of a frozen intercom, a subdued intent of contact. The music is competent and familiar, distant without being distant. There is no predefined form or context here. It is a different kind of color. As musical moments and modes become enormous, things break down into exploration. On the crystal shores of perception, Relic Radiation leaves a lot of space for interpretation. It is never loud, although it works loud. An at-times almost sequenced feel to treated and overdubbed bass clarinet and clarinet notes adds to the feeling of paradox. Every voice, every gesture indicates a way in. The electron is now an immeasurable wave. Ben Bertrand previously released his album Manes (2020) on Stroom and Dokkaebi (2021) on les albums claus. Relic Radiation now subtly deepens the spectrum. It is a hands-on interface for probing into endlessness, both inward and outward, personal and impersonal.
