Album Description

Keith Fullerton Whitman recorded Multiples at the Harvard University studios where he had access to vintage synthesizers and electronics. The eight tracks on this album flow from piercing electronic tones to interlocking clusters of repetitive guitars.

No diggity.......2007-03-11

I can appreciate how Whitman went to harvard and dicked around with their instrument archive more than I have to like it. Don't get me wrong, I am a massive fan of the ambient-drone-classical-noise genre a la Stars of the Lid, Jessica Rylan, david lee myers and ellen band, home made electronics, bending circuits, all that geeky know all that Keith Whitman embraces. But frankly I find his music unbearable. Which is a shame because he's probably still riding on that glowing but unknowing review @ pitchfork which has made him a demigod in many peoples eyes [oh my GOD, what thought provoking and intelligent titles 'Stereo Music For Acoustic Guitar, Buchla Music Box 100, Hewlett Packard Model 236 Oscillator, Electric Guitar And Computer (Part One) ' the kind of titles that have tried so hard to erase so much pretense that it loops back around and you want to shoot yourself).
Quite like the 'music itself'. I can imagine the guy at pitchfork, puffing at a pipe, Wittgenstein on hand, truly pretending to 'get' Stereo Music for Hi Hat. Some people say something this audacious is genius, I say something/one this audacious is scary because he could almost pass for a musician, if you forget that the first half of his career was built drilling drum-and-bass computer programming in your brain via the Hrvatski cell tower. Whitman is NOT a musician. He has no control over the often interesting sounds he produces from obscre machinery, the moment he begins to bring it together with 'stereo music for farfisa compact duo deluxe', he loses it all over again. What starts with a promising organ line and simple but satisfying drum pattern spirals into another useless mess of drone drone and drone. its as if his random clicking and chirping is a safety net for lack of compositional skills-- I would appreciate the dronage more if he had proven himself through some other avenue as a musician first, not just academically but intuitively.

Very original and creative electronic-influenced ambient classical music - non-fans of the genre will hate it, though.......2006-01-10

I bought this album only because it was on pitchforkmedia's top 50 albums of 2005 list. What makes it great is the fact that it sounds entirely original and inspired as it's very interesting to listen to. Unfortunately, I fear that non-fans of the genre will simply hate it. It took me several listens to get used to it, as a lot of the songs are pretty hard to listen to on the first try. As for what it sounds like, it's essentially electronic-influenced ambient classical music. He uses a fair amount of guitar and piano sounds here, and a LOT of electronic noises (I know this because the song titles say what he uses). I hated it the first time I listened to it, but after several listens I finally found its greatness. For those looking for some great contemporary classical ambient albums, this is a GREAT buy. Highly recommended!

Highlights include:
the entire album!

A journey.......2005-07-19

starting with tweaks, dots, loops and whistles and ending with arpgiated piano and organ drone I felt like I was on the dark side of the moon . . . . .yet warm . . .

A great composer in the making?.......2005-05-24

KFW's influences are pretty obvious, and he's happy to reveal them - Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Christoph Heeman. He knows all about tone clusters, overtones and shifting minimal rhythms. But the textures on 'Multiples' are so beautiful that it's never just an academic exercise. This is somewhere between 60s and 70s American minimalism and the more psychedelic analog drone-work of Kawabata Makoto (when he's not cracking skulls with Acid Mothers Temple) or Yamazaki Maso (when he's not cracking skulls as Masonna). One thing it's NOT is ambient, even if some of the treatments are a little Eno-esque.

There are signs here that Whitman is outgrowing his influencers, particularly on the glorious final piece (the last two tracks), and developing a really individual voice. He is certainly worth watching carefully. For now, 'Multiples' fills that nagging gap where you want something more sensual than conservatoire minimalism but more musically structured than psych-drone.
