about
in a recent interview, the california artist jim haynes was asked to name his top five noise albums. in quick fashion, he listed off kill the king, send, desnos, persona, and carcinosi. since then, he's equivocated on which albums to choose, but the artists behind such works remain as the adjacent signposts and landmarks to his own constructions of industrial noise. how those records connect to the output from haynes is found in their unique combination of smoldering dynamism and psychological inquest. for over twenty five years, haynes has been an autodidactic clinician into the processes of corrosion, decay, and rust, turning his attention away from visual practices and more to the metaphoric crucible of noise and sound. by now, it seems like a cliche that the pandemic changed everything; but since that viral encroachment, there is a noticeable shift in haynes' work post 2020. it's more aggressive and yet more controlled: a rarification and telescoping of the research into decay for more potent noise and more potent metaphor.
the tools for haynes' work remain limited: motors, electronics, shortwave radio, found objects, all applied with considerable pressure. compositionally, inauspicious is a very rough moire pattern from overlapping elliptical structures that can negate and obfuscate just as easily as they can compound and aggregate. the album surges and collapses upon the two twenty minute chunks of controlled noise that follow an internal logic that snakes from brooding power drones, spectral radio transmission, and an aktionist demolition cast upon metal, glass, and unfortunate wooden objects. rupture and release. purge and pulse.

"The paradox of an infinite string of unique moments informing the repetitive nature of being. The Unification of Inner and Outer Life as the last track’s title suggests? That’s probably impossible. But this album might help getting closer to that goal. Music triggering the weight and scale of the human experience." my review on Veil of Sound: https://veilofsound.com/2024/02/26/Kali_Malone-All_Life_long.html
