Review Random Stabbings

One of the underground’s great treasures is one Tobias Fischer, proprietor of Mouvement Nouveau webzine and a die-hard supporter of classical and ambient music. After meeting Mirko Uhlig of Aalfang mit Pferdekopf, Fischer became inspired to try his hand at Nurse With Wound-style freeform ambient. With the two songs that comprise Toi et le Son, he has succeeded in welding together inviting layers that whir, trill and fade gracefully, appearing to probe the listener’s consciousness for quality. Its electronic nature is outdone by its organic feel, hovering like a target for third-eye concentration without corny dramatics ever barging in uninvited.
