Accretions

Editorial Reviews
Outburn Magazine, JC Smith
Accretions is unique, adventurous electronic music that sounds as though a mollusk actually had a say in the final results.

Jeremy Keens @ Ampersand Etc.
A distinctive new voice who has been able to maintain his vision in this further exploration of the nautilus¹ environment.

Album Description
ACCRETIONS represents a melding of digital audio and organic inspiration. Mollusk delves into the oceanic realm with compositions at once experimental and atmospheric. Waves crash, tides ebb and flow, and the ancient mollusks follow their own paths through this wonderful collection.

ACCRETIONS, a melding of organic inspiration and digital audio, is the first CD release from Mollusk, the musical alter ego of Malcolm Bly. Bly was working in web design at the time, and created the music of Mollusk entirely through digital means, employing sampling and DSP applications, as well as experimenting with the process of using the artifacts of MP3- format compression to create a "low resolution" sound. "It seemed to me that the medium of the MP3 wanted to be played with, explored for its own abilities, not simply used as a means to poorly represent higher quality sounds."

For the ACCRETIONS compact disc release, Mollusk has created the new track Barnacle: Archipelago, and remixed/remastered all the compositions to CD quality audio. The tracks The Sea and The Cry of the Distant Nautilus retain the low resolution Mollusk sound, but the other pieces have been recreated in high resolution 44.1 kHz sound.

An adventure into more experimental "digitalism," ACCRETIONS will appeal to the more adventurous listener who enjoys 21st century musical modes such as "glitch" and microsound.

        4 out of 5 stars Terrific!.......2004-12-28

        This is a soundtrack from the documentary Frontier Life a collaboration across the USA-Mexico border between Trummerflora artists and members of the Nortec Collective. The music is mostly in the electronica vein, minimal techno and experimental dub forming its core with contributions from artists like Panóptica, Clorofila and Latinsizer. The best music comes from those who push things further. Fjellestad's own 'Phone Damage' is a very fine layering of odd ambiances.

                A classic rock opera about a hockey goalie not only troubled with big feet but also narcolepsy!I laughed so hard I cried!Second half of cd has many comedic songs from the glory of Evil Knevil to the low of living in a U-Haul!I laughed, I cried, and continue to laugh years later

                5 out of 5 stars Every hockey fan and music lover needs this album!.......1998-10-14

                This is the cleverest album I've heard since I got the white album. There is no compare. Half the album is a story about a hockey goalie with grotesquely large feet while the other half is as witty and musically adept as they come. If you want to complete you collection get this!
