Album Notes

Using the sounds of his environment, Ezekiel taps into the routine realities and daring dreams of everyday people, revealing a range of suggested expression. This is the soundtrack for the pensive as well as guarded secrets, memories yet to be made and wide-eyed ambitions. Call it what you will; techno, ambient, soft house... it isn't really any of those, but a more organic combination of those elements, infused with a breakbeat influence that often makes the edited rhythms shift from the 4/4 thump while retaining a similar feel. Emotional, cinematic, and beautiful.

People Places & Things marks Ezekiel's progression in the realm of warm, minimal, found sound electronics. His previous releases include Technology is Lonely (CD - Anticipate) and the Colorfield EP (3" CD - Red Antenna).

REVIEWS

a definite buy
author: Axel Vonkollar
for me because i like the music of loscil and polo, and this to boot is a masterpiece of glitch, in fact it basically is a glitchy loscil with just a little polo humor sprinkled here and there and everywhere... and let's not forget the voice tracks/traces and i mean those literally... a veritable painstaking masterpiece.... enjoy, those who care, because the love of effort here is the effort of love... and ezekiel has, makes, and is plenty of both...

"...this album is beautiful and vibrantly organic..."
author: Deana Morgan - BPM Magazine
People Places & Things is a hybrid fusion of synthetic-organic minimalism. By interpreting the sounds of everyday life and melding them into layers, Honig creates a familiar sounding arrangement that is unique and engaging. Not unlike Eno's ambient soundscapes or Aphex Twin's metallic arrangements, this album is beautiful and vibrantly organic, while maintaining no qualms about its electronic origins. Honig makes use of steady lilting tones sifted over light percussion. Sometimes, he employs a single-note piano melody, and other times, a powerfully distinct heartbeat. The effect is unobtrusive, a configuration of intricately detailed sounds that mixes into stupefying beauty. Most tracks are languid and mono-minimalist, but Honig does foray into dance with "Passing Through," and into dreams with the sweetly ethereal "Falling Down." Hovering between scantily clad ambient-experimental and percussion-tripped Plastikman is the blurred genre of Ezekiel Honig.

This guy is going places...reminds me a bit of Matthew Herbert in his use of found sounds. I have high expectations for his long and lasting career...I'm already looking forward to hearing the next album.
