” Despite his name sounding Greek, David Papapostolou is a
French man living in Bristol. With ‘One Two’ he makes his
debut into the world of music. He plays here acoustic guitar,
cello and soprano saxophone – they marked on the each track as
‘gc’, ‘gs’ and ‘g’. There is some sound leaking in from the
outside and that may perhaps be qualified as field recordings.
He doesn’t play both instruments at once of course, but layers
them in the computer, but they are responses to each other.
This means we are dealing here with some highly improvised
music, and Papapostolou does a great job. Carefully strumming
and using his instruments as objects, using a bit of overtones
through feedback in ‘g’, this is very much the product of
silent playing and using the instrument as an object. This is
a statement: I’m here, listen and invite me to play around
with others. As such this is very good point of departure. “
(Frans de Waard , Vital 555)
” This is improviser and sound artist David Papapostolou first
cd releaser, offering up 3 tracks of improvised music
utilizing acoustic guitar, Cello and Soprano Sax. All of the
tracks seems heavy with world weary hazy, like watching
figures move off across a iced white landscape.
May be it’s he way he producing long hovering tones and feed
back /noise hazes that give this barren cracked cold
landscape. He then adds various instrument; sawings, scuttling
and dry ice scrapings.Also he incorporates elements of
hissing, breathing , loud silences and mummers of background
sound, which builds depth and rich micro tones into the
tracks. The album creates a feeling akin to watching birds and
animals forging for food in winter licked lands. Or listening
from with-in a forest to the slow echo of heavey trucks on a
winters road.The three tracks last around the seven minutes a
piece, which leaves the cd a little short, but never the less
worthwhile.
A rewarding bit of mood setting improvised music, which you
can hear samples of and buy direct from David here.” (Roger
Batty, musiquemachine)
” One-man-band, antiphonally conceived project. Immersed in
listening the response to environment and materials takes on
an extremely horizontal view, minimally reacting to subtle
overtone partials blown up by a microscopic regard. The layers
rely on the abstract character of noise, drawing landscapes
where dimensions and texture reign.” (modisti.com)
