Fickle is an album that combines concrete sounds, ambient atmospheres, and experimentation, painting a varied and fascinating sonic landscape. The compositions arise from manipulating predominantly instrumental or naturally sourced sound material, including field recordings and concrete sounds. Through skilful processing, these elements transform abstraction and synthesis, where reversing, pitch shifting, granulation, and resampling are essential tools for balancing innovation with organic textures.
“Fickle by Tacet Tacet Tacet is a collection of 6 pieces, each unfolding a unique soundscape. As it collects fragments of perception—a squeaky tone of a field recording, classical instruments, spherical synths—the track will slowly create a mental map, guided by repetitive percussions or rich basses. A slowly uprising synth-surface resonates with a tiny click. A single recording of a bell sound changes the massive structure of a white noise. Yet, the mind starts combining pieces into comfortable patterns; the composing beholds its breaks, and a new sound carpet flows in. Unlock a new way of perception. In his album, Fra Zedde invites the recipient to an experience-based listening—his richly composed tracks allow emphasizing sometimes one, sometimes the other structure of a track. It gives a hint on how he experimentally works with tons of field recordings and carefully calibrated synths, drums, and instruments—generating a composition yet unknown. As the fragments of each track built a unique composition, the tracks alongside each other composed a continuum of a sound happening.
And so the artist manages to give back a part of the creative process to the listener: Let your mind flow through an unknown environment, connect fragments to a whole, never get used, stay curious and open, repeat. Everything is connected.”
