The third release in a row of Phil Klampe's Homogenized Terrestrials project, and the only one of the three that isn't on his Terrestrial Records label. This one is a limited edition of 100 CDs on the Somnimage label, hosting such other artists as seah, Rapoon, Adi Newton/The Anti Group, Allan Zane, and others. Instead of strange names, tracks are identified by numbers - "Vibration 1" through "Vibration 9" in eight tracks with Vibration 5 curiously absent. As for description, perhaps Mr. Klampe said it best - "Over the course of a few decades, individuals have secretly entered Teslas apartment and made recordings with a device referred to as the quantum envelope collector. This device is capable of extracting vibrations stored within objects and creating a representation of the events and sounds that remained and continue to remain long after Teslas death. Next comes the task of interpreting these sounds. Do they represent actual sounds that occurred, recreated to the best of our ability with current technology? Or are these coded sounds that must be deciphered further to see or hear what they really say? Some have speculated that these are recordings of actual alien communication, and that Tesla himself was of alien origin. What exactly are these vibrations extracted from Teslas apartment?" That kind of sounds like the voiceover intro of a "Tesla's Apartment" episode of 'Ancient Aliens' and I can imagine Giorgio Tsoukalos, Tok Thompson and Travis Taylor debating the finer points of the sounds on this CD and what they could possibly allude to. The bottom line though is that the tracks (or vibrations) are generally intense and even somewhat unpleasant at times. It is as if Tesla's ghost is conducting experiments in a medium not yet known to humanity. While the idea of that may seem intellectually stimulating and perhaps even emotionally romantic, the actuality is somewhat unpleasant in the over-all. While "Vibration 1" eases you into this realm with a non-threatening environment, "Vibration 2" is a lot colder metallic alien habitat. This seems to be a soundscape of "things" (machines, devices, indescribable constructs) rather than people or places. What humanity there is seems to have an outside role, and maybe there is none here, only AI, which might be a fitting conclusion. I have my favorite passages from 'vibrations recovered from Tesla's apartment' (I really resonated with "Vibration 7") but the overwhelming feeling I experienced was more of a "stranger in a strange land" feeling. Noise enthusiasts may find much of this scintillating.
