Side Effects is proud to announce the first new full length release by Daniel Menche since "Static Burn" (Soleilmoon), which came out more than two years ago. The time spent developing and focusing the sound of "Screaming Caress" has been well spent, as is immediately evident in the meticulous and detailed subtlety of this new work.
"Screaming Caress" was created from somatic (meaning pertaining to the body) sounds that were fashioned from the use and abuse of the body, particularly the skin, larynx, chest, lungs, heart and fist. Additional sounds came from the use and abuse of microphones, stones, sand, salt, distortion boxes, wood, bamboo, crude electronics, bells and chimes. It is the music of dreams, nightmares and visions. It's power reaches into both the physical and mental, evoking concealed emotions and hidden memories that are perhaps best forgotten. Every person who hears Daniel Menche's music will experience it in an individual and personal way. This is not the music of masses, it's the sound of the soul, a carefully crafted work who's complex intricacy reveals itself layer by layer over repeated listening, as only the very best recordings can.
