Bela - Cacophony and Agony: A challenging and often distressing auditory experience
The South Korean artist bela, known for his avant-garde creations, has released an extraordinary album titled "Noise and Cries." This collaborative effort with the Polish experimental festival Unsound was unleashed on April 12, 2020.
"Noise and Cries" is a sonic exploration of life on the margins of Seoul, with its tracks characterised by throat screeching, digital percussive oddities, uncouth effects, guttural cries, haunting backgrounds, and abrasive sounds. The album's complexity is further highlighted through the piece 풀이, which offers a beautiful respite within the album's extreme and uncomfortable nature at times.
풀이 is a masterpiece of wonderfully-textured art, gracefully achieving a balance between challenges and resolutions. The track features ambient, forlorn textures, providing a soothing contrast to the album's otherwise unsettling vibe.
The album's themes are deeply rooted in the precariousness of living on the margins of Seoul, with the expressive tones narrating the struggles and resilience of those who call these areas home. This unsettling yet beautiful journey offers a unique insight into a side of Seoul that is often overlooked.
"Noise and Cries" is not for the faint-hearted, as its experimental and unusual sounds push the boundaries of conventional music. Yet, it is precisely this audacious approach that makes the album a must-listen for those seeking something truly unique and thought-provoking.
