What do you get when you join the ambient noise pranksters of Solarus with the
master of guitar loops Jim Plotkin, why Namanax of course! This particular side
project utilizes bad horror movie samples, droning noise, and analogue loops to
construct virtual soundtracks to old B movies. The end result is a dizzying
array of samples ranging from insects and birds, to wind and water all filtered
through radio static and other machine noise. "Audiotronic" ends up being a
rather extensive journey through a personal interpretation of old films. The
trio of Namanax attempts to add their own personal spin on how they would have
performed the soundtrack if they would have been chosen to score each film.
Oddly enough, I think the Namanax versions would have been a great deal more
frightening than the originals, of course, I'm not sure if movie goers would
have been able to handle the caustic nature of some of these tracks if they had
been used.
