Colin Potter & The Hafler Trio (646 words)
The Hafler Trio seem overall more monochrome in approach, with so it seems for the listener who doesn't know any better, whereas Potter seems to be using more sound effects to create the soundscapes that he does, maybe less organic and more electronic.
The Hafler Trio is Andrew M. McKenzie (from Newcastle, England - currently residing in Tallinn, Estonia) working in the field of psychoacoustics and sonic research.
Recently, The Hafler Trio are concerned with the ramifications of technology and the creation of the most extreme, all inclusive experience as possible, that 'resonates' over a period of time lasting much longer than just the physical time it takes to apprehend it, and affects and engages all levels of being.
crippled intellect productions (910 words)
Hafler Trio has always asked more of the listener than many sound artists do, with questions and ideas that provoke and, like an open invitation, await response from those who are willing to tackle, often at length, the ideas presented.
The music is a continuation of the drone music that The Hafler Trio have been exploring ever since their return to the music, late 2002.
Both the music, an austere, even chilly, assemblage of drones whose origins are as difficult to fathom as the architectural bigger picture they fit into, and the texts that invariably accompany it, with their strange, slightly surreal juxtaposition of grammatical abstruseness and tired cliché.
